Ever get the feeling that we're treading water as a nation? Burdened by that uneasy sense that there's a drunk at the wheel?

Get used to it. The next three years will be the test.

Is America smart enough to realize that certain groups are more inclined toward commercial rule - at the expense of the future and the public interest?

If they can unplug for ten seconds - and seek to better understand their neighbors.

If they seek to question the popular concept of authority - and demand answers.

If they can stop relying on spoon-fed, commercial media poisoning - and create their own media.

If they have the courage to seek the truth.

In other words.....maybe.
