If you are looking for a perfect America where such scandals and
improprieties won't exist then you'll be waiting for the end of time
because it will never happen. The one thing that we did not have in
those decades past was a population that believed they were simply
entitled to anything and everything and government was going to take
away from one group in order to give to another.
Until the citizens literally take back their country from the ****ing
government you will see no change for the better.
When Watergate happened everyone from the citizenry up through all
ranks of government were ****ed and demanding action.
If Watergate were to occur today (or another Waco or Iran Contra etc)
porbably no one other than politicians would give a **** and only then
because they could use such events to their own benefit.
A large portion of the population today only care about one thing,
"I'm gonna get mine".
That was not the case 25 or 30 years back.
Politicians have always been predominately crooked to one degree or
another. But nowadays the people have become nearly as corrupt in
their thinking as the politicians.
As I stated here around 2 years ago, the people will elect the
government they deserve. And they have.
We have become a much more divided nation than we have been in decades
and we now have a government that reflects it.
Instead of the people being the bosses of the government the
government now tells us what to think and how to feel.
You gave examples of a lot of bad things that occured throughout the
last 30 or so years but it should also be noted that in that same time
period, as a people, we were better human beings than we are today.
Then we tried to look out for our neighbors and it was common to see
folks talking to each other over their fences and their children
playing up and down the streets of their neighborhoods.
50 years ago people, whether successful at it or not, at least tried
to live a "Leave It To Beaver" lifestyle. We would stop and help a
stranded stranger on the side of the road and typically neither party
had any reason to be fearful of the other. We had no problem throwing
a few bucks into the salvation army bucket or at some other charity
near the holidays.
Nowadays we are generally afraid to even drive down the street without
being safely locked in our cars, we are afraid to let our kids play
together outside after school and we look at our neighbors that may
have a little more than us with disdain. And instead of trying to
live the American dream we now lazily say that "it's impossible to
live a perfect life so **** it, may as well be an asshole."
Indeed, we might possibly be much better off today if the people
themselves had the same morals and outlooks on life that they had 30
or more years ago. If we did then maybe we would not be so quick to
tolerate the type of bull**** that we've had to put up with for the
last 25 years.
Thanks! I feel like the Cavalry has arrived!
