Without comparing one historical era to another, suffice it to say that we live in a nation filled with anger, despair and at best anxiety. Our ideological, economic and cultural divisions have infected every fiber of the public square.

A loss of faith in facts and truth, and in the fundamentals founding principles of self governance of fairness and selflessness.
