I'd be interested in what you are referring to about the USA being confused. Messed up for sure in some ways. But we are also doing a lot right. Just compare us to many other countries who are not remotely at our standards. We're far more efficient in many areas than most countries. Going to hell in a handbasket, unfortunately that is the case with most of the country spiritually.

Lot of spiritual snobs, think it's my way or the highway.

Only the stairway goes to Heaven. The highway goes to Hell.
