7. It's painful to watch.

There were a lot of struggles that we made significant progress on in the 1960s and early '70s. But our culture has had a portion of it resisting change, and that portion has taken deeper root and grown. It will take a serious and persistent effort to root it out.

I share your concern about our form of government …..it is certainly less "for the people, by the people" these days. There's too much corporate influence, among other things. More, all of organic life on Earth either grows, or decays. And society is organic. We will either grow, as many individuals and groups have, or we will decay, in the manner that Trump promotes. I'm usually rather confident that we will grow, despite the stumbling blocks we are encountering. For tension can promote growth. But I know it can also be destructive.
