Are we, in America, having some kind of cultural shift?
We must be if an egotistical buffon like Donald Trump is
leading in the polls.

We seem to be returning to a very unenlightend state.
One of the lesser known candidates, Ben Carson is running
around using inflammatory language about baby killers to
make women feel even guiltier when they have an abortion.
It is like the woman, who is already here matters less
than the cells or the embryo. We fought hard for the
privilege of making a choice. Must we return to the
dark ages when women were kept barefoot and pregnant.

Money, greed and a total lack of compassion seem to be the
order of the day. Can you imagine what a forced march of
Hispanics back to Mexico would be like. I vizualize the
trail of tears all over again. Surely we have learned
from that tragic blunder.

So many Americans are angry and that anger frightens me.
The anger is directed at innocents. How else would you
describe the fury of these unbalanced people who randomly
shoot up a school or kill coleagues in the very act
of doing their job because they feel disrespected as
recently happened in Virginia.

As a nation we have lived under the threat of war or actual war since I was twelve years old. Peace is just
a beautiful dream.
