Exact thoughts that I could have written.

I don't believe our country has fallen so much and so fast, just that we are finally aware of what has always existed "behind the curtain" that we couldn't exactly see before the Great Awakening.

I do wish (only sometimes) that I was still blissfully unaware, but then I come to my senses and realize that "it had to be this way" for all of us to see the rot, evilness and dysfunction that exists all around us and to take action in our communities to start to remedy this.
