I'm nostalgic for the America I knew growing up in the 1950s, when you could count on people to do the right thing and tell the truth. I also miss our democratic government kept in check by the venerable Supreme Court and the Constitution.
We didn't have all of it right, but I truly felt we were on a path to correct our past sins and make America great.
Today, a large segment of our population wants to “Make America Great Again.” They elected a dishonest, self-serving Donald Trump, thereby enabling countless regressions, including a new Supreme Court with a MAGA mantra that has weakened voting systems, abortion rights, gun control, and the power of the Environmental Protection Agency, leaving marriage equality, LGBTQ rights, and even racial integration vulnerable.
Today, I walked through Hannaford and saw a guy with a pistol strapped to his waist. Was he a good guy or a bad guy? He didn't look too good to me. I was told that a person with an assault rifle had recently visited the store.
Wonderfully detailed and complete article on the status of recycling and trash disposal but no information on how options affect the environment and climate change. I would love to read more in a future story.
