I think it takes a little adversity to bring out the best in people and society. After all, when life appears to be really good, it's easier to be apathetic than to take initiative - there's no reason to fix what's not broken.

Society's troubles are our troubles. My generation and the generation that preceded it have to take a big share of the blame for those troubles to the extent things have gone bad on our watch.

On the other hand, as bad as things seem, they could be worse. In spite of the fact that we've made it harder than ever to get into this country, people are still trying. that ought to tell you something.

Yes it tells me that the way things are here is still better than it is most places out there. But I want it to be as good as it was here. And it isn't.
