Finding a way


 It is somewhat disturbing reading all the news of late. It seems everyone is pitted against each other. There is very little harmony in the world or the country we live in.  Mankind has always fought each other since the beginning of time, and today is no different, even if we live in a more advanced culture of technology.  America is in a state of decline and it saddens me.  We have been a light of freedom to the world and many seek what we have taken for granted everyday day of our lives.  I am in my seventies and never have gone hungry a single day in my life.  That is a blessing many of us fail to recognize because we grew up with sense of security living in a free and vibrant country.  Now we face the prospects of a new culture in America.  It is one that limits free speech and seeks to destroy the foundation of our nation. America's strength came from being the melting pot of the world with the mass immigration of the early nineteen hudreds. People came here from every corner of the world and brought with them their traditions and skills of their home land.  We quickly advanced as a country because of the mix of diverse cultures and the desire of people to pursue their dreams.  We are a democracy with a representative government providing a voice for all concerned citizens to express their views.  When you consider America being a mix of many culture and compare it to an Autocracy style of government with one ethnic group, you have to marvel at how we channeled our strengths to create this great country with abundance of personal freedoms.  Big government with central rule has never been the friend of freedom. Sorry for the political nature of this post but it seems we can't hide from the overwhelming negative atmosphere in our world and our county.
