What we used to be

America known to be a melting pot, welcoming all from all over the world.We are in truth a America of immigrants, expect for Native Americans our origins are all else where,

A home for dreamers, where if you had a dream, and put in hard work you could achieve a reasonable good life and your dream.

We used to be a place where you for a time could keep the back door unlocked

Neighbors would happily watch the kids

People had reasonable respect for authority, property

At one time road rage was UN heard of

People forgetting babies in cars, was not even a news to report

America was a kinder, more unselfish nation America was about service to country, neighbor family.

At one time people were proud to join the Military, and Military Vets even had some respect.

Elders were reasonably respected.

Churches, Movie theaters,Shopping centers were safe to go and hang out, or attend.

America used to be great

America did great things and has potential of doing great again

What we are becoming

Since 9-11

Airports

Shortly after the attacks, the federal government created the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and, on Nov. 19, 2001, Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act. That agency and that law are the reasons you need to show up at the airport a few hours before your flight, take your shoes off as you pass security and can’t bring liquids on the plane.

“Consider that before September 11, 2001, there was no cohesive system in place to vet passengers in advance of flying; only limited technologies in place for uncovering a wide array of threats to passengers or aircraft; no comprehensive federal requirements to screen checked or carry-on baggage; and only minimal in-flight security on most flights,” John S. Pistole, then TSA administrator, said in a speech on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Airplane security also changed after 9/11, with the Federal Aviation Administration establishing policies to prevent the takeover of planes. Cockpits are now locked and only the pilot, from inside the cockpit, can unlock the doors. However, that has brought its own challenges, as evidenced by the Germanwings crash.

Immigration

About a year after 9/11, U.S. immigration policy changed drastically with the Homeland Security Act and the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002, according to the American Bar Association. Visas became harder to come by for tourists, students and foreign nationals and those who were admitted into the country were subject to further scrutiny as fingerprints and other biometric data was collected. The Department of Homeland Security, formed Nov. 25, 2002, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), formed in 2003, are tasked with the protection of the U.S. and its borders. The immigration policy affected people from Mexico and Latin America -- despite their having nothing to do with 9/11 -- and their path to U.S. citizenship.

Looking back, it’s fascinating to see how a country whose citizens blindly follow their government was essentially founded on the idea that governments are dangerous entities. How far we’ve deviated from our origin

1700s, when the Home of the Brave became the Land of the Free, the American people were all too aware of the bigger the government, the more danger it is to us the people. American people are not flourishing. The economy is in shambles, and has been for years, but our government continues to force taxpayers to pay for things they don’t want or need. Whenever someone stands up to this form of tyranny, they are dismissed as radicals – or worse – terrorists.As Alex Jones of Infowars loves to say, “The answer to 1984 is 1776,” and if we as American citizens want to put an end to the injustices that we are actively experiencing at the hands of the corrupt United States government, we must look back to the beginning – when the government feared the people, but the people did not fear the government. This country can once again become the beacon of freedom that it once was. It just needs its citizens to do their part.Source:

As America reels in a flood of lawlessness, research on the temperamental underpinnings of violence has become increasingly controversial. Because black men compose only six percent of the general population but about half of the imprisoned one, the issue particularly concerns the black community, which is understandably suspicious of biological explanations for behavior. In 1992 a firestorm of protest caused Frederick Goodwin, a psychiatrist and the director of the federal Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration, and the world's authority on manic depression, to resign his job and return to his previous position as director of the National Institute of Mental Health after he drew a parallel between inner-city violence and primate studies showing that young males in the wild were more violent and more sexually active when they had to compete for scarce resources. Black political leaders and others also successfully lobbied the National Institutes of Health to withhold money for a conference, to be held that year at the University of Maryland, on possible genetic components of violent behavior.

There is much condemning, critiquing,criticizing today. It is not long the action, deed, but the person today is attacked. This is politics, heads of cooperation's and down, Also in homes

We are leaving the next generation a legacy of intolerance,violence,debt,divisions,and poverty from within. A house divided will fall.

We in the world have become more despised, a joke, Yet as a nation we seem not to care.

We have politicians who act worse than kids. We once was a people full of hope, and today now there is fear..
