As comical as it sounds, it's becoming truer every day.

We, as a nation, have gone from being a powerhouse that took responsibility for our actions and pride in our accomplishments.

Now we are embarassed to be proud at the risk of offending ANYONE, and we "pass the blame" because it's easier to make someone else pay for and do the work for us than it is to actually do the work.

This is not a blanket statement for everyone, but when discussing :how things have changed", this is a general description for the sake of continued civil recourse.
(OK, I've used up all my $5.00 words for the day.)

.

you can still do this in certain places in the usa where the hunting ethic
is praised and respected...but no longer around here....

i plan to relocate there.... just for this specific reason.
