We are an isolated nation populated in the majority by people who have never traveled outside the country other than maybe a brief cruise or tour.

We on the whole are completely ignorant as to how backward we have become under the influence of special interest groups that make money in growing their product whatever it might be that is designed to profit not serve and in fact harms us.

I am aware of what life is like outside our isolated space and it makes it very difficult for me and others like me to speak up for once we do it is put down as THE LIBS and other cheap shots that people gobble up.

It is literally POLITICALLY INCORRECT to do the right thing for the people. Every good proposal is shot down and accepted by the majority as “socialism” and “too liberal” even a sensible response to the borderline crisis. The only game in town is holding power and making a profit. And that agenda is not serving “we the people” of this country.

Most of us would be shocked at the quality of life sustained outside this country. Education. Prioritizing Children. Prioritizing Families. Health Care.

When you bring up the elephant in the room which is today you get tarred and feathered.

But my God why would anyone send their child to a public school where the probability they will be killed is high; and the probability they will hear of another child being killed is 100%? Of course, it will follow that their learning is disabled by the anxiety of this knowledge far too much for a young child to comprehend but it is in fact their normal.

I would not send my child to public school today and there are no affordable private schools, but they are in fact no safer. Isn’t that fucked that in a way our children have nowhere safe and nowhere that is serving them 100% in this country to receive an education.

That is a fact! And we accept it!
