I know, the title may be a little harsh. And don't tell me to move. I don't really think the USA sucks in its' entirety. But there are elements of my home country that seem to be changing. But, of course, I'm also changing. It's hard to tease apart what factors may be at work. Is it me? It's not me, it's you. What's going on as I age and my country matures?
Here I pose a few questions about how the USA began and where we ended up today. I wonder, couldn't where we are now have been predicted? Is the constitution (or the bible for that matter) supposed to be literal or metaphorical? Are people so inherently different that no single 'system' could accommodate us all? Are we worshiping the wrong idols? Is money and power how we want to measure our success?
