Has the world.........gone....CRAZIER.....to the point of........UTTER INSANITY?
The very fact that America has chosen a demagogue for prez, show's the levels of insanity we've reached as a society. Something is brewing...and it isn't a good thing...it's WW3...insanity is certainly in charge, that or very poor decision-making...and I mean very poor. Let's just hope The Drumphf doesn't start dropping nukes, but we are closer to midnight with his election...he's nuts.
Insanity is a state of mind that prevents normal perception, behavior, or social interaction; seriously mentally ill. With that being said, I believe that our society has reached a high level of immorality and insanity. As a republic we have elected a person that is known for his immorality as the Commander in Chief. On the local level local government, the preference is no longer about protecting and serving the people that cannot protect themselves. The mindset that is most prevalent in our society is that "the harm is not affecting me personally so I choose not to care." In this season, I'm convinced that we are showing how in-humane we are as a society. Immorality and hypocrisy is at an all time high. Fighting mass incarceration is awesome for political campaigns, but ulimately we don't care because the U.S has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Might I add that more than 80% of the federal prison population are black men, and this is highly immoral in that black people are only 27% of the U.S population. Also, black people are lynched in the street in the streets like dogs, and the police are the ones doing it. Ironically, the majority of this "great" nation love this because Trump won the presidential election on the premise of "Making America Great Again." Does he mean to return to the 40's, 50's, or 60's when blacks hung in trees? Does he mean back when blacks were burned alive, and white people are smiling and posing while they stand beside the burned hanging black bodies This is highly immoral, and today the police are doing the same thing legally with the gun, and there is hardly any accountability. Our society is willing to deny state funds for education, but at the same time accept state funds for prisons and juvenile detention centers. With that being said, our society is insane just as it was back then. The insanity and immorality has always been here, and it never left. It only evolved, and it is concealed by uniforms and titles. The inhumanity and insanity was only made legal. All Trump did was uncover what was there all along.
We live in a sound bite world
Those who control the media
Control the minds of many
And
History does repeat itself
Royalty and surfs
Slave owners and slaves
The 1 percent and the rest of us
We live in a world that worships money. Money is more important to most corporations then air, water, food and most humans.

I changed from question to forum to allow commenters to have more space to express their opinions. I initiated the question, and now forum, to discuss reactions to Michelle Obama's statement at the DNC. Her words: “I wake up every morning in a house that was built by...

Why is it OK to have "Black History Month" but not "White History Month"?It just seems like reverse discrimination to me. If everyone wants to be 'equal', why the double standard? This is not coming from a racist person, either. I'm just curious...I wish we could all just put...

What is one thing you don't want to be discovered after you are gone?If you already know well enough that you don't want to leave certain things behind, why are you still keeping them?

Some people like to comfort themselves with the idea that if they get rid rid of horrible-old Christianity from the world, we will be left with nice, peaceful nihilism. I would like to point out that if you trample away Christianity, we won't be left with the unity of blissful non-belief, we will...

Why White Americans who claim to be color blind like to write about African Americans?This is something I've never really understood. They will always start their blog with some example of black people they know and then go on a rant about how black people do this or African Americans do that....
