United we stand, Divided we fall. Said over 200 yrs ago and still very true. It doesn’t seem like we’ve been so divided and polarized as a nation since the civil war. This nation was built not on extremism but on consensus, compromise and inclusion. Ideals that are fast vanishing in incivility, narcissism and greed.
The nation was built on an extreme notion, “individual freedom,” guaranteed in writing, truly unprecedented in any society anywhere in the world. But, like those few societies that briefly experimented with individual freedom, eventually the controllers trained enough sheep to legislate themselves into shackles via promises of “free” stuff. 200 years was a good run nevertheless.

Never fear: at Internet speeds, it’ll be a very short ride on a fast machine to oblivion.

The sad thing is, they really have no needs. All of this is strictly for their wants.

Way to buzzkill a very nice sentiment. Hate consensus? Your way or the highway? You might be a trump voter.
