The state of America is sad to me. Almost seven years after the attacks on the World Trade Center and our nations capitol, we are back at square one. Forget the fact that a muslim could be our next president or that we’ve turned our back on our present nations leader (who days after 9/11 had a 90% plus approval rate). How quickly our minds change. America was burning copies of the Dixie Chick’s albums and now they have a Grammy for record of the year!?! For a song that states ‘we’re not backing down’ (after they backed down and disappeared for a few years until it was cool to hate President Bush. Way to stand up for what you believe girls).
Why am I so upset? I just watched a video on youtube of
Letterman and his first show after 9/11 and he spoke of the spirit of our great nation and how a small struggling town held a fund raiser to send money to a hurting city even though their city was hurting too. Where is America’s spirit? We care more about global warming and we’re forgetting about the individual person. Our neighbors. Our co-workers. That guy you see everyday that you can’t stand. They are people just like you or me. And I’m guilty too! I’m the worst offender! We have forgotten how it feels to be a broken people and we have forgotten how to help our fellow American.
I know this feels like preaching. And I’M in danger of ignoring my OWN words. But maybe, just maybe, I can do something to better the mood of the people around me by the way I act. That maybe all I can do. Good luck America. I love you. I always will.
