I think America is an excellent country. The war on drugs has gone too far in eating up some of the Bill of Rights, but I really believe it is temporary. The war on drugs is getting more and more transparent as time goes on, and I think it will end in the next few decades. Illegal immigration and disfunctional population growth are major problems, but it is a matter of time before people wake up and see that something needs to be done. The pendelum swings back and forth. We are nowhere near not being able to vote politicians out of office. The first step into that territory will be a really hard tennis racket slam at the pendelum. The people still have the ultimate power, and we are nowhere near the danger zone of losing that. We're not going anywhere. If we were a failed country already or even near it, we would not be the richest and most powerful nation in the world.
