Politics Has Become A Disease

In my view politics has become a disease threatening the continued existence of the United States. It's eating us up from the inside out. Every social media platform's comments nearly always twist everything into some sort of ideological combat situation.

Nearly every congressional activity is now focused on taking each and other's party out instead of issues that urgently need resolving. Each committee hearing turns into a verbal punch-and Judy shit show. Some state governments are challenging federal laws like they were separate countries unto themselves.

People are divided like never before in my lifetime. Currently government is a reflection of such discord. No longer can legislators make laws that don't end up with elected or unelected judges who seem more powerful now in the decision making process then ever before.

We have two presidential candidates who neither are exactly the pick of the litter.

I've said it many times before. No country's government, economy nor civilization can survive without individual moral, honest and ethical values. No one can regulate nor make laws that will restore these virtues. If we, as individual people, cannot hold to these ruin awaits. A divided house cannot stand.

How unfortunate for the fewer who hold lack of greed, humility, understanding, compassion and honesty who will be dragged down by those which do not.
