Disconnect, a TERMINAL American Disease
By James Strait
In a promo, Rob Kall included the following observation.
Addicted to Mediocrity
I'm watching an ad for a new approach to help people quit smoking-- people who are addicted to nicotine. And it makes me think about how American voters are so, so settling for less-- that they are addicted to mediocrity, to taking what they get, not what is the best, not what is more than the bare minimum. I blame the media and the two parties' leadership.
He could not be more dead on....except he failed to mention that it is not only the "elected" leaders...it is US...we have seen the enemy and it is US. Disconnect is an American Disease...by the way...it is terminal if left unattended.
