it is so sad....

to realize just how far we have fallen as a country recently.

My wife has been watching YouTube videos recently, including We are the World, and Queen's performance at Live Aid. To think of how Freddy Mercury gave of himself at that performance, and how all the singers in We Are The World came together to help others less fortunate and how we have changed. I don't believe that either one of those events could happen today; most definitely not in this United States.
