--- yet we wait, and kick the can down the street over and over. America is a great country, but we have a collective habit of ignoring many issues until circumstances are almost beyond repair when we could have been ahead of the curve. And we love to blame politicians and special interests as the source, when ultimately they reflect our views or often our apathy.
I am wondering more and more if this isn't due to the US being a BIG, diverse country. We can't get agreement across these many factions until things are so bad we have no choice?
