The Internet has made us aware of citizens and regimes around the world. As a result, I often wonder how did the ordinary person in England or France live with the fact that their country was no longer the greatest Empire it once was? How were people able to understand and make the necessary adjustments for a different kind of governance so that their national culture and values were not destroyed?
Here in America, right now, in the 21st Century, we are being pulled from one ideology to another as we try to find our footing in a world that is rapidly changing.
It seems to me that we need to put political parties aside. Check our emotional rhetoric at the door. Sit in the quiet of our home and ask ourselves am I prepared to make adjustments that will help this country meet the future in a fair and open way? Are we prepared as individuals to look at the greatness of this country without resorting to demagoguery or hyperbole and ask hard questions of ourselves as we face reality? Or do we accept the demagoguery and hyperbole?
