How can we help you if we can't help ourself?

I have been reconsidering my passion to better understand the world, and I am happy I ran across your blog. I have been thinking about the state of my country, the U.S.A. I would like to open the window up on this topic as I am afraid so many people are not aware of the situation we are in and what that situation could lead to.
I am really sorry I don't spell words well, but I have never placed very much focus on things that have little relevance. Such as capital letters here or a misspelled word there. I only want to say I know we are all one people. People in the East, Africa and here all hurt and need the same thing. Yet, our country has stopped taking care of itself. Yes, we are no island, man, nor country. (If I start using back-slash for punctuation, forgive me for lack of time to spend editing my talk.) I just hope our country can find a way to take care of our best interest and not forget to help those in need, for we have been so blessed and have so much. I don't want to put this issue out of sight or out of mind/ I want to make sure people know I care about anyone who walks this earth, because we are all just a slate marked with experience. Hat tip to the greats. But, man, I am freaking scared. There is abundant business in complete shambles. Providing jobs or creating a well running business was my goal after obtaining my second college degree. But I really am afraid my area is not the only place in the U.S.A. that is suffering so badly. My classes in college in Florida really bring awareness to the prospect of a bad economy sticking around for a long time. The U.S.A. has been there for so many. The country has done and does great things. But the war in Iraq. Is that even about terrorism any more, or about waste? I know we are getting out of there, but dang, how long do you have to keep learning you can't drive people from their home-land? Vietnam....cough. Sorry. Tickle in my throat. I am really worried about the state or our union and I am afraid we have for got to take care of our self first, because with out that step/ who care. We can't have humanitarian aid efforts. We can't help a damn sole if we don't fix the problems in America. Sorry to wax, but I need to get that out. I am scared. Scared. We have lost touch with how hard we worked to get to be a world power.
