You know what I enjoy? I enjoy traveling all over the world. When I travel it puts everything in a fresh perspective and one can see more clearly, from afar, all that America has lost.
America has lost much more than it has gained. When you strip away the technology and the industries that create new wealth (that Gore attacks as some monster) you will see a people that have slipped into fear. Fear of taking risks. Fear of taking responsibility for their own lives. Fear of the unknown. Fear of their own shadows. Fear of tomorrow.
This is not the stuff this country was created from. This is not the "right stuff." It is the whining stuff. The finger-pointing stuff. The "help me, I am a poor victim" stuff. The divisive stuff.
And no, I am not an "old man with a cane!" Hahahaha... I probably have more energy and more creativity and more imagination and more mental agility than anyone you personally know.
American's have become arrogant in their ignorance. That so many people can be swayed by a mealy-mouthed political leech like Gore is a defining moment in this country.
If one seeks to crystallize today's America, its philosophy, values, morality and ethics, one needs to look no further than Clinton. He is holding up a mirror that reflects the future... a future of mindless robots which used to be the American population. A future of fat, miserable people who fool themselves into thinking they are happy while they watch the circuses and stuff themselves with bread like the Roman citizens of old. That is the politics of today, "Bread and Circuses." Rome too was once "the greatest country on Earth."
Have you ever wondered why so many people, even kids, have to stuff themselves with prescription mind-altering drugs and anti-depressants? It's much more rampant than so-called "illegal drugs." So is alcoholism. It's because they live without a purpose and survive pitiful lives of quiet desperation. Many just live life vicariously; they are the couch potatoes watching illusions of life swim past them. They wait for the grave. They are just killing time between the cradle and the grave.
No army ever needed to defeat America; Its own people are defeating themselves.
