The problem with the body and politic of this nation is one of mindset. For all the talk of U.S. exceptionalism, this country is behaving like anything else but exceptional. It's as if this nation's best years are behind it, and now folks are tearing each other to pieces over the last crumbs of splendor.

The greed. The selfishness. The acidity. The game is over. At least that is what it feels like for the supermajority of U.S. citizens.
