The so far though part of your last sentence is what I worry about the most. The constant headlines about events on the other side of the globe can eventually turn that around. If our politicians and media spent 1 20th of the attention they spend on affairs abroad at communities within 5 miles of the capital building we could actually start seeing our country get rebuilt. I find it quite telling that as soon as serious sequestration and budget issues started to impact and go after MIC spending then all the sudden we have a confrontation with a major world power.

I appreciate the contributions you make to this site.

Peace.
