I have to clean up my own back yard before I start on the one next door.
Same with countries.
Why do you even restrict you self to your back yard. When what is needed in you back yard is what is needed in all back yards.
All that is really needed from any of us is to truly say what is that we really need. Then get together, lay out a plan of action a do what ever we can on making the World a better place in a way that is good for as many as is realistic.
I liken it to acting as Founding Fathers to create a World in which contains the basic idea behind the American Dream & all that is really good of what America was & could be.
The point is we need to account for all the bad that was done in the name of the American Public & center on the best of what is truly at the heart of America.
It boils down to our problems are problems that affect the World.
Other Nations problems affect Us.
We can't fix our problems with out taking in to account the Worlds Problems'
In solving our Problems we will find ways to solve some of the Worlds Problems.
Solutions to World Problems will solve some of our Problems.
So the answer is that if we want things fixed we have to look at all of the problems as one big problem.
So if we want to or not we need look at what even needs fixing we need to have the beat set of answers.
We do not live, can not & will ever not ever be isolated from the rest of the World. Our Problems are the Worlds problems & the Worlds Problems are our Problems.
Is what our Nation is about worthy of saving or not. America as it as it stands right now may be the only Nation best equipped to handle most of it's problems.
Do we want to take the right steps that we don't seem to agree on to fix what is wrong? If our way could be the right way would the World be a better World?
Do we as individuals wish to have & keep what is the basic part of what we are & want is restored?
Can we come to a strong agreement as to what is Wrong & what really needs to be done? If we what to solve a problem me first need to agree on just what the problem is.
I will have been on this site for 3yrs tomorrow. I have failed to see any change in reaching any real change in bring our views together in any meaningful way.
Which I see as ironic because we see much or what is wrong alike. I keep saying because we are divided so deeply that we have to find even in small ways the need to find common ground.
With what is going on in the world today if we are to retain any thing that is truly good about or way of life we need to act now.
So pack up our fears of what can go Wrong & Trust in our self to do what is in our heart & do what is right.
Together we need to quell our Fears & find the Trust in each other & put together an answer to send to who ever will listen to us.
I don't want to lead or follow. I just want to join together in finding answers to the problems we face. For if we can do that to paraphrase a great leader: "The dreams of this Nation will become the greatest creation of Mankind ever".
We need to seek those that have the desire to put aside their personal wants in the search for what comes to be what is best by all.
Again I say that what was great about what America was & should be a part of all we seek & need to save.
This is what I believe.
