How to revive it is always the question. Times will need to get harder before traditional standards become important to people who have been raised without them. Times will get harder. They always do. The revival could come gradually, by correcting the failed education system. Usually it requires force.
A lot of my efforts now are aimed at presenting the story of America before it got wrecked so that when it comes time to build something out of the ruins, the people who do the building will have some remnants to consider. This America can't last. It's like I lived through the glory days of Rome and now visit the ruins, but Rome still inspired thought in 1776. While I'm not conceited enough to think anything I write will matter, it seems important to at least try.
There's a fine line between conceit and confidence. The difference depends on motive. If you're doing it to show us the way, to give us reason for optimism, that's leadership. Lead on. We're with you.
America's not ruined yet, just a little frayed and tarnished. Our success made us lazy and we neglected our maintenance. It's time to break out the tools and get to work.
Force is an option but we haven’t even broken the glass to self realization, self responsibility in our culture. We have to first start individually by replacing our lazy American habits.
Netflix marathon's < restful sleep. Fast food < home cooked meals. Negative toxic friends < community mentors. TV < Lifting weights and exercise. Complaining, overthinking and blame < gratitude, action, and responsibility. Struggle = Manhood.
We have a long ways to go and lots of work. We are still stuck on recognizing the basic principle that our God given natural immunity is more powerful than a lab created, gene editing lipid nanoparticle injected into our blood streams.
TV and junk food are good metaphors for the magic shots and pills. We've been trained to expect the easy life. This disaster is showing more people that luxury is expensive, and most of us can't afford it. Struggle = reality.
Nothing is settled, but before the lead flies, there's things to do to prep for a post United States America. It'll be something different, communists if they can, patriots if they will.
His books, though are a bible and while I knew a lot of what he had to say, he had a lot of great points that I'd never thought of. If we can make it through the winter, we'll have a good chance of turning this around. If they don't get us in a nuclear war, by if it's tactical, maybe that would be survivable, too.
Your talk of escaping daycare reminded me of when I was a little girl in kindergarten. I hated it from day one, so every day at recess, I tried to plan escaping myself. The problem was, the school was miles from my home and the bus went on a really convoluted route picking up all the children. I would go over the route I would have to take to get home, and I would get most of the way there, but there was one spot that I couldn't figure out. In my innocence, I thought my mother would welcome me home, but of course she just would have taken me back. Since I was a small, five year old girl, it's probably better that I couldn't figure out the way home. My husband started skipping out in kindergarten too, in a different school, but since he lived in a town, right near the school, he didn't face the problems I would have.

We all just have to embrace the suck. It’s a great life!

I'm reading Jack Lawson now. Definitely a fire hose. Maybe there's a video on Netflix. I'm still confident we'll recover. Next big test in November.
