What's It Gonna Take? by Dr. T

There is no question that our Country is in decline. There is corruption at such high levels that the stench is palpable. It permeates our educational institutions, our industries, and our government. It is present, without exception, from local levels to state levels - all the way to the feds. It's a cancer destroying us from within. Human nature is a paradox, from the deepest, darkest depths of evil to the loftiest virtue of self sacrifice, our human condition is the eternal tug of war of good versus evil. As people gain power so, too, do they become more vulnerable to the "dark side." Whether it is lobbyists greasing palms in Congress or school administrators in Pennsylvania turning a blind eye on child abuse for the "good of the game," it all boils down to human frailty and human frailty has become an epidemic in our society. It is evident everywhere you look. What may have begun as good intentioned protesters of Occupy Wall Street has degenerated into mob rule and anarchy. What started as college kids defending their beloved coach at Penn State has degenerated into vandalism with not a thought for the real victims of this sad story.

We'd better get a grip... we'd better recognize that we are the architects of our own demise...if we don't rail against the dark side of the human condition, America as we know it will no longer exist.
