I'm not sure that there has ever been "normalcy" in the US, at least not in my lifetime. There were groups that had it good, even really good, and other groups that didn't, even really didn't. Democracy depends upon an informed, interested, and active population. More, we can never go back in time. Yet we do have the ability to do our best to make it a more perfect union -- which will require a lot of changes.

I agree 100% with you on how we got to this point. What we did yesterday determines what will happen today, and today will determine tomorrow. Unless we change, our final destination will not be pleasant.
