HBO has a new series titled "Newsroom." Today I watched a clip from the opening called the "Most honest three and half minutes in televison." Look it up on YouTube.
The truth really is that America is not the greatest country in the world. Not for a long time. We like to think we are, but we are not. If you look at the facts about education, technology, medicine, economy, and what ever else you want to use, you will discover that in most areas, America is not even in the top ten.
As everyone has, I have an opinion about why we as a nation have fallen behind. First and foremost is that we no longer hold individuals responsible for their actions. We have lost our morals, wisdom and just plain common sense.
That which is morally wrong is now politically correct. Traditions and men are no longer either. Think about that one.
Sir Winston said, "Americans will always do what’s right. After they have tried everything else."
I do hope he is right.
