Has anyone noticed that the country is falling apart?  Lying has become standard among once-honest men. (Trump was never an honest man.) Once red-blooded Americans, even veterans, have voted for a racist draft dodger and grifter. Patriotism is no longer admired. The formerly honest media has become obsessed with profits, enough so to wiggle Trump into the presidency and then act completely innocent. Previously educated citizens have eschewed any kind of education and now only embrace their own narrow and preferred views and, of course, the results of Dancing with the Stars. A man who has spent his life cheating suppliers, avoiding taxes, and dodging the draft, is rewarded with America's top job and hailed as worthy. A woman who has spent her life caring for less fortunate people is vilified and cheated out of her chance to make life better for everyone. Villains are elevated. Heroes are ignored. Everything is dangerously upside down. The question is will anything every right it?
