We are all members of a totally dysfunctional family. Any police officer will tell you that the most dangerous call they will respond to are the domestic dispute calls. The responding officers may end up fighting for their own lives in the midst of all the hate and mistrust. Almost everyone has seen the damage that is brought on by a family whose mother and father are more interested in name calling and screaming and yelling than they are in who is right or wrong.

Our family is being led by people whose need for power has nearly destroyed everything that our family was known for. All the good things we have done around the world have been destroyed because our family's leaders are unable to communicate with each other. They can no longer make decisions for our family's needs; they can only give it lip service and make emotional statements about how great they are.

The United States of America is such a family, we are totally helpless when taking care of problems in our neighbor's home, because we are too busy tearing down our own. We point fingers, call names, ignore the rules of civility and most of all, we have lost the respect of our children. It is no wonder other countries of the world look as us with such hate and pity. Our chosen leaders have lost the ability to speak or understand the truth. ...

Ladies and gentlemen of the United States of America, it is time to put petty politics aside. ...
