@MikeBarbre Thanks to Reagan and the "Moral Majority", we've gone from "Ask what you can do for your country" to "I don't care if I make someone else sick and die, just don't make things inconvenient for *me*."
@NoahPaulLeGies I want to preface that I LOVE this ONCE-IN-WORLD-HISTORY nation of ours.
I can also say that we have lost our way as to how we got to be that "shining city on a hill," and it wasn't bottomless tax cuts for the ultra-rich for the last five decades.
