Have we really become a nation of wimps and 'gimmees', not caring what is happening as long as we get "ours"?
Yes, sometimes I believe we have become such. There has been such a dumbing down of America for so long, I really thing some people think it is the one and only true way. Rocket scientist, we need more of those kind of people. And people who are not afraid to boldly step forward. People who will not accept that something can not be done. A lot of it is the government's fault, especially those in Congress. Too much pandering for their own sake and trying to please a minority of people or groups. This country needs leadership. And as far as I am concern that does not currently exist in government today. Unfortunately those who have it are in private businesses that keep being oppressed by government.

I have to stop now, as I know that if I keep on I will surely piss someone off.
