Isn’t cancel culture GREAT?!?!?!

This one is a little closer to home: Las Vegas shooting There are so many Las Vegas shootings (and shootings in general) that I had to be more specific to find it. The victim is (effectively) my sister-in-law's god daughter. As in she was the roommate of the woman's mother, and there for the birth, changed the diapers, and has been friends all along. The victim in this case was the support for both her mother (disabled) and grandmother (in an Alzheimer's care home back in Brazil). She was shot for trying to break up with her boyfriend. Who is, of course, still on the loose, being protected by bros who think this is perfectly OK I'm sure. Her mother was on the way there to pick her up because she didn't feel safe. It hadn't been a long relationship; Tabatha pretty quickly realized he wasn't a great guy. Too late. My sister in law is beside herself; she spent last week there with her friend (they're still close). Why should America be special in this particular way? Wendy P.

“While boasting of our noble deeds we're careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.” ~ Horace Greeley

And who cares how many sex partners we have had. We're old.

None of what you say is incorrect. There are numerous articles on the American Decline and the parallels between the US and the Roman Empire. My issue is - Who can lead us to a confident course correction and is America willing to sacrifice to achieve it. I fear our collapse whilst people have their faces buried in their phones watching TikTok videos. While our country was found on individual rights, we always had a sense of the greater good, not the I/me. I'm also concerned with your arriving and most articles using that year as a benchmark for the beginning of the decline. Coincidence?

There's a new movie in the works. The Thomas, Crowe Affair.
