Not wrong in any way, shape, or form, TC. Your assessment that we may not survive the Twitter age is also spot on. What we've lost in this country has been engineered by forces from within (to use a term I learned in my 60's on LFAA) by Movement Conservative), from without (looking at Russia), and willingly (by today's Republiscum party adherents).

We are (relatively speaking) an infant Nation, whose rush to multi-national prominence was accelerated by the enslavement of Africans and the genocide of the Indigenous who occupied this continent when it was "discovered" by white European religious nuts. We had a growth spurt as toddlers following the "Great Depression" and WWII where we started the efforts to live up to the founding document of our country. We may be in our teen years now, with all the restraint of teenagers with no ability for reasoning and so dependent on our emotions to "guide" us in our important decisions that really require a bit more complex thought than a meme that tickles the collective amygdalae from unsubstantiated and inaccurate beliefs that meet the 140 character limit of a Tweet.

The religious monsters are the root source of why America can't be great. Magical thinking = wasted human potential.
