I have lived through the decline of our country. When I grew up...it was the Soviet Union that abducted people and put them in secret prisons... It was the Soviet Union that tortured people....

The USA was a unionized nation..... giving people a living wage and safe work enviroments. Now .. we have degressed to a corporatocrasy. Run by a handful of the elite wealthy.

Thanks for your K & R.
