I'm 23 and i have never seen a country that's in such terrible shape. I wish people would second guess their selves for a minute and acknowledge that without the truth we will continue to fall. I'm broken hearted. Why do we have to fight the opinions of others so much? Why can't we just get our whole media on board?

I'm 50 and I think your perspective is sorely lacking.

I spent the better part of the weekend talking to many Police Officers and engaging in some heated conversations about the recent events that have transpired. They are deeply hurt and outraged at the public reaction to some of the most recent cases in the news. I was able to make them laugh at least some, that was solely on me and my personality.


I ended the day yesterday with a fellow Marine telling me Merry Christmas Sir. I wished him one back when we FIRMLY shook each others hands. It felt damn good......I know I'm own the right side of the fence and law.

How many countries have you lived in? I could point out 150 at least that are in worse shape.

Kinda like being in the military in the early 70s as I was?

You weren't alive in 1968, were you?

I am six years older than you. I've been to many countries, I have to say that I enjoy traveling, but if you know how to invest and save, if you are creative and hard working, America is STILL the greatest country on earth. (Not one of the best, THE best.)
