7. What Falwell and his ilk have wrought in the purposeful deconstruction of our nation
and the splintering of political/social groups will, I think, take many years to mend and heal.

But there is hope.

I was talking with a young 20-some friend of mine recently, who is also a grad student going for an MBA, and he had this to say:

There is so much apathy and lack of motivation among our nation's voters today. yet, when I really examine this, I see that that it would appear it's the GenX voters who allowed themselves to be easily placated, easily led, and completely influenced by the MSM.

What I see and hear from people of my generation and age group is that it's important to vote, important to research and understand the candidates, the issues, and the long-term impacts before voting, and important to be active in facilitating change at this point. Our nation has been mislead and mishandled far too long. It's time to be pro-active and participate as citizens, as is our right.

It's time to save our Constitution. It's time to rescue our nation.

People in my age group are talking. People in my age group are concerned and willing to look, listen, learn and act without relying solely on biased political ads or the MSM versions of candidate profiles, or the national and world news as it's presented today.
