Hi Everyone, The following is just my opinion, but I think others may share it and perhaps take notice. To me recent events that have transpired in the US are much like that in third world countries. We now assassinate lawmakers that we don‘t agree with, drive through crowds of peaceful demonstrators and harass and arrest folks that disagree with someone. Until this week I thought we lived in a democracy and that the constitution was there to insure that we would have a peaceful and prosperous life style for all individuals. Recent events seem to be at odds with that thought. In addition to all that the US no longer seems to be the greatest country on earth, but more like a whining kid. There is inconsistent foreign policy, inconsistent national policy, and continuous attacks on fundamental constitutional principles. Militarization is being used where not needed or wanted that tends to escalate some situations. Those situations may not be correct and proper but are not of a nature to require such excessive force. Those same situations are being caused by some of the above mentioned governmental transgressions. I believe that the show of force is not to quell an insurrection but rather to intimidate and restrict first amendment rights to voice dissent. On an international scene the disparaging of longtime allies and praising equally longtime foes is inconsistent of a great country. Tariffs that serve no real purpose and interfere with world trade that stifle the ability of numerous companies to do effective business, some now filing bankruptcy and others laying off workers. Then there is the wholescale intent to deport individuals that are branded as criminals of one sort or another whose only crime may be a desire to have a better life for their families. That desire is fundamental to our country. Now it seems as if we are going to get into the Israeli Iran conflict. Possibly start a much wider conflict. I hope I’m wrong and this all plays out well, but it sure seems we are rapidly going down a rabbit hole in a direction never intended or conceived of by the founders of the country.
Good Listening
Bruce
