I am coming to grips with the reality that the country has changed. Freedom and liberty are no longer valued by the great mass of the populace. Security, safety, and having others provide for their needs ( wants/ demands) are the current desires.
Time for a new Constitutional Convention to officially bury the original Union and recognize the new reality.

It was a great country for 200 years or so. We couldn't keep it, so it is gone onto the dustbin of history.
