In seven years, it will be 2020—a number we associate with optimal vision at the optometrist’s office. This blog is a quest to restore America’s vision by that year: to confront our past iniquities with honesty, illuminate present realities with knowledge, and prepare ourselves for the obstacles ahead.
🔧 The State of Our Society
Our society isn’t broken, but it does require:
- Routine maintenance
- Thoughtful upgrades
- Replacement of defective parts
Let each component’s performance speak for itself. These are not insurmountable problems—they are correctable conditions. To label them as “problems” gives them undue power.
🏛️ What Needs Inventory
To move forward, we must take stock of:
- The three branches of government
- Business ethics and economic practices
- The morale and mindset of the individual citizen
Reason and religion were meant to flourish independently within our borders. Our government was designed to be balanced by a system of checks and logic—with the citizenry as its ultimate beneficiaries.
📚 Why History Matters
A knowledge of history and an honest inventory of our lives will reveal the necessity of a renewed approach to the future of life on Earth—starting now.
“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."- James Madison
