But I’m of the mindset that our country, our democracy and culture, will correct itself in time. I see signs of a turnaround. I’m concerned about our education system, about the character of our media and its infotainment culture and the terrible impact it’s having on ethics, the quality of our citizenry and the competence of our labor force.
Sheeple is being kind.
Also, I’m concerned about the quality of our politics, the breakdown in civility in public life. I don’t care for the partisanship, all the bumper sticker loyalists, and in particular, Republicans who put the welfare of their party before the interests of our country. They’ve lost their way, abandoned principles for power. It’s dishonorable.
The country will be alright though. Give it time.
Honestly, the economy is a bigger deal. The impacts of a bad business cycle, market failure and true scarcity, would overshadow the politics of today by a large measure. This is the greatest risk we face right now.
