I am concerned with the turn toward violence I'm seeing in all aspects of American society. Football plyers (in fact all pro sports players) are seemingly more abusive towards their wives and girlfriends. College players of all types engaged in sexual harassment and sexual assault. The cyber-bullying at all levels. All of this is very disturbing. Abetting all of this is the propensity of the MSM (main stream media) to slant stories to fit their preconceived notions of what is to be printed/broadcast. Add the obscene devotion to political correctness and you have such a volatile mess that almost anything could set it aflame. The USA is not the nation I grew up in. Perhaps it never was as I like to remember it, but if definitely was not the one I live in now. If you want to use this in your next novel, a small footnote please. :)
I fear that since the election of Donald Trump as President that the citizenry of the United States will fall back asleep in hopes that the new President and Administration will solve all our problems. We need to stay awake and always vigilant when we give power to others to make sure that those to whom we have delegated our power don't try and take it from us. WE MUST BE EVER VIGILANT!

Kind of you to be concerned.
OBJ'ism doesn't talk about it much, but it's covered - kindness is a great virtue.
After reading that, I felt that none of this will matter, 600 years from now...
