I watched the HBO program “Newsroom” last night and was hooked on the dialogue. There was a scene where a News anchor responds to the question of what makes America exceptional that is riveting. He basically says we were exceptional but have lost that nomination because of the lack of leadership and parochial thinking dominates our political system.We are still a nation that is capable of meeting
the challenges of the 21st century but I believe it has to be from a bottoms up movement.We need to find common ground on infrastructure, education,immigration,job creation and the
revamping of antiquated energy and transportation policies. Our history is replete with daunting periods when the future looked bleak. I refuse to accept our current status and will commit myself to changing what ever small issue is within my grasp.
