That's quite a story, PC.

I think you might be right concerning our nation's future. We're probably going to "go through some things" in the coming years. We may have a partitioning similar to what happened in Ireland but for different reasons.

When President Obama was elected, I thought our country was moving forward once again. Since the night Trump was elected, I've changed my mind. We're on a self-destructive path thanks to Republicans.
