Letters From An American
Very important documents for the United States are the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Amendments. They make America the country it was intended to be. Since the late 1960s, the United States has drifted from those fundamental documents. Mobs, riots and government officials making unsound departmental rules similar to law, and outrageous presidential decsions. The country has descended into chaos, homelessness, tremendous inequality of wealth and daily media quasi brainwashing. Schools and universities produce students not ready with reasoning, math and language skills to contribute to the modern world. It is anything but a country based on the Constitution and the Amendments. It is more based on department regulations and guidelines and presidential and staff decrees. What is next is uncertain, but might not be good. [John Shanahan]
