Strange days

These are strange days aren't they? I often wonder why America is a land of "Mosts". What I mean by this is why do we have the most murders of any nation on earth? Why do we have the most people incarcerated in prison of any nation on earth? We have the most money, do the most drugs, have the most guns and weapons, have the most power. We have the most nuclear weapons. We have some of the most advanced science on the face of the earth yet we have over 40 million people with no health care. We are the richest nation ever in the history of the world yet we cannot feed everyone or house everyone. We have poverty right here in our own country and we have the means and power to eradicate it yet we don't. Are we morally and spiritually bankrupt? We have the most sex crimes of any nation on earth, we generate the most pornography, the most drugs pharmaceuticals that is. Why is it then that we have so much yet so much of what we have is bad? Yes I know I am taking a cynical approach here but these are all truths. Do we have the most pedophiles on earth? probably. What is it about our sociological makeup that makes us this way? I asked several people I know and some said we are undisciplined, under educated, we just don't give a shit. It makes you wonder doesn't it though? All the great societies eventually fell due to their own greed and hubris, the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Aztecs, Incas. We will be lucky to make it as long as some of them did. History repeats itself and we never seem to learn from it. Our president doesn't even acknowledge that there is Global Warming, they like to use the term "Climate Change" again, this is a form or propaganda known as "Transfer." We are destroying the planet which we live on, I think history if there is any in the next hundred or so years will judge us harshly and rightly so. I hope we can change the history we are making today before it's too late. Keep the faith if you can. Goodnight from The Big Apple.
