Where is America? [View all]

Where are its people? We know they are stuck on a mass of land between Mexico and Canada. But what are they thinking today?

Are they happy with the direction the country is going? Does the average American even think about it?

Do they think of things such as the Constitution, freedom, democracy, and the law? Do they wonder why they pay so much for groceries when they go to the store?

Are they familiar with the stories about the Reflection Pool and the JFK Center?

Is it all so depressing that most of them just turn it off?

We probably won't know until after the November elections. Will we see that as a referendum on freedom, democracy, and the law? It is difficult to have faith in the judgement of the American people.
