Despite our economic troubles I still believe that the US can lead and get out of its mess. I do wonder about America being the safest place on the planet. I would check statistics for that one. I think you're only insurance against crime in the US is living in some rural part of the country. Having lived in several major metropolitan cities in the US, I wouldn't characterize it as being the "safest" place on the place. Well, I love America, too and it’s clear that you do from your post.

However, some of the mistakes that were made over the past few decades that have put this country in a deep recession will take years to fix. There simply is no quick fix and we all need to realize that. But, I agree with your thought, that we can all be more proactive in planning for the future. One area that I think hardly gets mentioned is the worldwide scarcity of water. Oil and energy conservation are at the forefront of most dinner table conversations but water supply should be as well. Worldwide water shortages are apparent right now and will be significant in the future, if we don't do something about it. We do live in a great nation and America will continue to be successful.

My wife and I were just this morning discussing the state of affairs with our government. With career politicians and politics becoming a family affair, we feel America has become what we tried to escape some 230 years ago. It wouldn't be hard to make the argument that our government no longer exist to support the people, but it is now the other way around. I, too, look forward to the dialog.
