The Lost of Privilege

How do we respond to the idea that America privilege is waning? That the lifestyles that we have taken for granted and the accommodations we have classified as birthright are slowly passing away? These are the questions we must wrestle with as we live in the time of America's decline. We must decide what kind of nation will we be, will the uncertainty and fear of the unknown create in us a new awareness that will allow for us to finally see the suffering of our fellow brothers and sisters? Or will fear cause us to become hardened and fueled with anger at the disappearance of our unearned privilege? These are the questions that will define us,who will we be? I hope that a new perspective will be born and that our collective indifference will be replaced with a consciousness that fuels real change. It is time for us to make a choice will the loss of our privilege allow for us to abandon our false ideas about our exceptionalism or will we simply harden our hearts to the rest of the world. The choice is ours and hopefully we can choose correctly. Let's Get Free!
