You might say The Villages is a microcosm of what is happening in our country. No place is safe, we are no longer isolated from what our ancestors left behind. Unfortunately we are also being attacked from within. The world was a whole lot different before Nixon was president, but we still are better off then our counterparts. I still feel safe sitting on my front porch. But when I go to sleep I do make sure to set the alarm.
