Everyone agrees that America is not the same place that it once was. Our society is undergoing a fundamental transformation that is absolutely breathtaking, and some of the changes have been positive. But many would argue that most of the changes have been negative, and the truth is that we can see evidence of this all around us. Wikipedia defines social decay as “the tendency for society to decline or disintegrate over time, perhaps due to the lapse or breakdown of traditional social support systems.” As a society, we are more disconnected from one another than we have ever been before, and perhaps this is one of the big reasons why so much anger and hatred are growing all around us. At this point, a large portion of the population doesn’t even seem to possess a basic level of empathy and compassion for their fellow citizens, and that has frightening implications for the future of our nation.

The Best Places To Live In All 50 U.S. States
We live at a time when Americans are packing up and moving with increasing frequency.

But there are some general principles that I share with people, and I will be sharing some of them with you in this article. (Read More...)
13 Bald Eagles Found Dead In Maryland Related To The Death Of Justice Scalia On February 13th?
It is a fact that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died on February 13th. It is also a fact that 13 bald eagles were found dead near Federalsburg, Maryland this past weekend. Could it be possible that those two events are related? The bald eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States, and it appears on our Great Seal. And of course there were 13 states when the U.S. Constitution was originally ratified, and Maryland was one of those states. So some are suggesting that these 13 dead bald eagles are a sign that the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia represented the beginning of the end for the U.S. Constitution. Others are suggesting that they may be a sign of the death of America as a whole. When I first heard about this mass death of bald eagles I didn’t think too much of it, but the more I looked into it, the more amazing the supposed “coincidences” became. (Read More...)
