We have been engaged in and have allowed, the dumbing down of the American mind.

Our school systems (not all, but generally speaking), no longer recognize the importance of cursive writing, civics, music, art, critical thinking or even speaking proper English in terms of grammar. (Without language skills, how can we communicate nuance? Even professionals on television make mistakes that should have been corrected in elementary school.) Or practical skills like how to cook, how to survive without modern day conveniences or without a cellphone.

Our culture celebrates crassness, obscene wealth and how many followers someone has on social media. Video games, a form of mental programming, keep many of our young people occupied in an alternate world. A lot of them can't change a tire or cook a meal.

We have become shallow. We have become delusional.

We have a lot of work to do. We also have the opportunity and the tools to change where we are headed IF we have the tenacity and the will to start where we are and do what lies within our ability, to first value and then reclaim our power.
