JUST WHERE ARE WE AND WHO ARE WE?

Here we are at this point in our history... basically in a trap.  There was a day in my memory when we could park our cars in the driveway unlocked and with the keys in the ignition and not be worried about someone stealing it.  There was a day when we slept with our windows open and just the front screen door between us and the outside world.  We trusted each other and took each other at our words.  We cared about our neighbors and community and life was frankly... well... wholesome. 

Our federal government took care of protecting us and our states took care of the rest of the major things which affected our lives.  Everyone, regardless of political persuasion, was on the same team... the American team.  We all worked together to make our country not only the best country in the world, but even better; we may have had different philosophical differences in how to get there, but we all agreed that we had to get there and that was our common goal.  

Today, it's F you and if you don't like it... up yours.  It's my way or the highway.  We can't trust anything said or promised unless it's reduced to writing, signed and notarized.  And if we're sleeping with our home alarms unset and our guns not on the nightstand, we're asking for it.  

We don't care if babies are murdered near their delivery dates, but we do care if a convicted murderer gets sentenced to death.  We don't care if our politicians are crooked and not doing the jobs we elected them to do; we have two of the worst presidential candidates this country has ever had... and we don't care.  In fact, we're on the very verge of electing a crook and liar and we know it.  Well, we reason, what's the alternative? 

What happened and just who are we?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
