VK...prouder, stronger, better..are relative of course to the some of the political oriented measures. There is still a lot to be proud of in America.....I will never not be prouder.
There are some things I may be unhappy about, but as the saying goes....this too shall pass.

There is always another aspect of life to consider...America is a lot better than the media or politicians want to talk about.

How to get today's negative polarization out of politics is the challenge. The childish school yard tit for tat, smear diatribe of today's politicians only offers the negative...saying whatever has to be said to get elected...regardless of the impact or fall out.
