Here is the scoop: In this land of the so called, "free" we have about 320,000,000 people. That is a whole lot. I think 3rd in the world. So, what that means is this ...some are smart, and some are stupid some are in the middle. Some know how to act, some are long lost and know nothing. Some are very caring (like our last president) some are the essence of selfishness. (current president), and some are in the middle. The variety is endless. Really it is. You think you have seen it all, well then there is more...more smart and more stupid, more middle.. More of this kind , more of that kind, more of every kind.
The USA, in its totality, has probably the most diverse geography of any country in the world. From desert to swamp, from mountains to plains, lakes to oceans, small streams to huge rivers and large oceans, islands to land masses... I think the same is with our people. We got them all....Why?..It just is..I guess that is who we are..
Have a nice 4th of July tomorrow. I wonder what Lady Liberty is thinking??

(38,414 posts)sometimes we are real, sometimes..with Trump and that crowd...it is all pretends, lies, and more lies.
Occasionally the crowd of liars sprouts someone or a few that tell the truth. You got to watch it, it just happened, that republican health care thing, that McConnell was sure he was going to pass, was put down by some who told the truth...its crap. But our country has such variety and dimension that often with the news as it is, seeing the truth thru the haze is difficult. Most of us here, listen to and want the truth. We try as lady liberty would try to hear the truth and dismiss the pretenders. I sure hope that in some ways that continues. Because those of us who are honest, work hard, raise our children, and treat others the way we wish to be treated, deserve that. Those pretenders, and those who grow hate and more hate do not deserve the best this country stands for.
