No -- I am vary aware of human failing. I have been told that I am extremely tolerant (I consider myself tolerant of human eccentricities and extremes -- I have zero tolerance for murder, blatant lying, abuse, etc. .) Our country was founded on great hopes and prayer, as most new ventures are taken on. It's taken us over 200 years to reach the point we have, and we've spilled a lot of blood and tears to get there, because not everyone has the same idea of what our nation should be.
I still think that for people who want to chart their own destiny, we are still the best place in the world to live. It's still safer to speak out here than anywhere else (even if the Patriot Act and TSA are making things tighter than usual.) But I do think that a lot of people are out there screaming that they're fighting for God, mom, and apple pie, and wrapping themselves in flags, but they aren't really reading the words of the Constitution or Declaration -- and sometimes they allow themselves to be stampeded by fear of the unknown into actions that, if considered closely, are actually the opposite of their best interest. And the best interests of our diverse nation.
The LBb is medical. I have new challenges daily, the biggest being flipping like a light switch between an IQ of 160 and 100. I am inventing coping mechanisms for that, while I try to go into remission. So sometimes I miss entire subtext that is usually the first thing I notice. My friends are gracious and repeat themselves later.
