I must agree with the sad decline of our leadership. I don't believe the government adhears to the nation's voice. Politicians lead themselves to victory and leave the nation's voice unheard. Organized religion dominiates majority of political decisions. In my opinion, the voice of the church outrules the voice of the nation. This is America and herein resides many religions. Religious beliefs are every individual's preception or interpretation of the literature they choose to read. Whether that literature is the Bible, Koran, Kabalah, or Yoga, it's still what we glean from the lietature and interpret ourselves. In sumation, each of us are unique in our beliefs and thoughts. We should be allotted the freedom to remain unique. I enjoy this post and appreciate the time taken to express itself boldly.
