I have heard this before...that Conservative politics is to blame. For myself, the jury is still out on that. I really do not like the blame game. Too much like whining.

We are a very young nation, and we are suffering growing pains. We have reached the status of the strongest nation in the world...but with a price. I think we are still trying to figure out how *to exist* within these phenomenol parameters....by and large people see us as having our shit together, so they ask us for help. Do we?...Or do we initiate tough love/non-enabler status?...Then enter into this mix, the right wing, left wing...and the in between wing...complete polar opposites...and a quiet middle..

On a very personal level...I have 2 children......I had to administer love and discipline in 2 very different distinct styles...and we have battle scars... is raising a young powerful nation REALLY any different?

The whiners, bitchers, complainers, are alot like people that had the audacity to tell me how to raise my children....you try it for a week.

Unless we are in the situation ourselves, and factor in all the variables that one can ONLY imagine....

The USA has NEVER been where we are RIGHT NOW...
