Debate!

Last night's fiasco was an accurate representation of where the United States of America is at this moment in time.

We are divided, uncivil, mean-spirited, spiteful, selfish, clueless, intolerant, and, to sum it up, un-American.  Un-American if what America stands for is what we have told ourselves we stand for.

It may be our time is up.  We've had a good run.  A look at history tells us that powerful empires/kingdoms/countries have a finite life.  After the rise comes the fall.  Decline is inevitable.

So if that's where we are, if we're on the way out, we shouldn't be surprised.  Its possible to slow or even reverse the decline, at least temporarily, but in the end we'll go the way of all the others.

In the meantime - enjoy the show!
