I'm not American (but just French, sorry ...) and I enjoy your writing !

I agree with every point you talked, and I hope for the American people (YOU the People) you'll be able to restore your elections, which are "only" corrupt ... Your victory will be the one for all other democracies all around the world (France included) !

God bless the American people and your great but damaged democracy.

Please read again "De la démocratie en Amérique" by Alexis de Tocqueville: it's great !

Beautiful analogy! I hate how our society is a 'throw away' and most people I know don't like it either.

We purchased a house with 'good bones'. But it was originally a custom-built home. that was neglected for a good number of years when the previous owner got too old to be able to keep it up. But the contractors who have come in to work have all marveled at the solidness of the house itself. Sure it needs a face lift and that is not cheap (the bathroom had 70s shag carpet!). Slowly but surely though, it is coming together. Now we have people stopping by in the front to tell us how nice it is looking. It takes work and sacrifice. But the end result is - and will be - worth the cost. That is something we need to remember.

(And I will also have to remember - and repeat: Our elections are corrupted, not broken!)
