I’ve said this before to all. You’re witnessing the fall of Rome all over again. Lessons not learned. History is repeating itself but in less time.

A lot of us here are grey-haired. Our time to steer America was successful and it became rich, powerful, smart, and a role model for the world.

Now, the responsibility for ethics, intelligence, direction, and then importance of the nation is being passed off to younger generations - and they generally aren't in alignment with the Old Ways. Lots of reasons, including the media not being on board with togetherness. No more "I'd like to teach the world to sing" but instead, more "me" focused. (The media doesn't have a responsibility to make America great)

And so, for now, the bullies rule the playground. 

It brings me back to the mantra "America is the greatest nation on Earth." But all things must pass. I think that's what we're in the midst of now, the demotion and collapse of American greatness. Will there be a resurgence, a phoenix story? Not fueled by Boomers.

The money exists for education, for healthcare, for a stable/happy/prosperous society.  The priorities for these things are not in place.

If you want people without consciences you need to pay for that.

Education is a local level issue, and not all teachers are under-compensated. If you are, complain to your local county, town...administrator.

Wow, the Trilateral Commission.  There's one I haven't heard of in ages.  Now it has come back and now has mainstream acceptance instead of CT status.

I am truly impressed.  Next you'll be citing an Illuminati source.

It's all-channel fearmongering and you're buying and selling. Patriotic virtue?
