Is national lunacy a side effect of Covid-19? Now don’t laugh. It seems that this may be possible. Would it cure this plague to close hospitals and lay off medical workers?
Consider that our esteemed leaders are now intending to defund and if possible eliminate law enforcement agencies. It appears that neighborhood watch groups (vigilantes?) and social workers can better protect the public (us) from gangs, mobs, muggers etc, than those mean old cops. How quickly this has happened. It seems that only yesterday the police were the beloved “first responders,” “the thin blue line.” How the mighty have fallen.
We should not get carried away with our national pity party and tear down Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty and who knows what else in this vain attempt to atone for the sins of generations past. Remember all you so dissatisfied with the USA, that for each of you there are many people in other nations who would gladly trade places. This is because the USA is a rich, powerful nation who’s citizens are protected by a brilliantly conceived Constitution. It has a great history and a respected reputation made so by great fair and generous people of all races and religions.
God bless America!
