Watching a once great society disintegrate: divisive, violent, angry, drug-addled, law-rationalizing, unable to disagree politely, gun-happy, near-immune to all manner of violence and the unspeakable; always offering prayers and open hearts, yet uncaring about what their kids are doing with video games, nearly all of them violent, after having left them in day care all day long. Anti-government interference, yet reluctant to vote out those who cause it all. Unable to put down their cell phones and devices in order to get from Point A to Point B safely, no matter the means.
Religious tolerance all but gone. Once great schools that helped generations aim for the stars and beyond, now abandoned for mostly segregated private schools. Nationwide high school graduation rate somewhere in the 70 % range, meaning almost 3 in 10 students fail to graduate. The remainder turn out to be an embarrassment to their new college professors in the fall, unable to to write a sentence, construct a paragraph, spell it all correctly, or do simple h.s. math.
Sigh.
