it's evident by answers in the video that some people do not know what is really going on in the world at this TIME...

I'm worried for the entire world population that has no say in the strike/don't strike calls. We can only suffer while bunk-busters are showing world leaders the irony of it all.
its also scary how a lot of people don't think for themselves. at the age of the people in this video...shouldn't they know that wooly mammoths , saber tooth tigers and triceratops have all been extinct since long long ago? they covered it in elementary school..... I mean...you knew that right? everyone should long before this age. then with no proof, they are just told that trumps kids were out hunting them...and they just took them at their word? didn't bother to try to get any facts at all ? I'm sorry...but that's just completely stupid....and these are supposed to be adults....I know 5year olds who have better critical thinking skills than this.

I've tried very hard to be cautiously optimistic for the last few years, in considering this nation and the predicaments it has created for itself. There's not much to be hopeful about. I've lived long enough to draw some pretty stark conclusions through comparisons between today and fifty years ago. It isn't a pretty sight. We seem to be on a self indulgent, self destruct binge. Unless we apply some sanity, reason and common sense judgement, we're in for a rough ride. We've learned nothing from the mistakes of others or even our own foolish blunders. Still, with all our faults and flaws (and they are legion) we still are the best deal on the planet. Much of the good that has come from this society, has been because we were unified and focused on accomplishing great things, for ourselves and the world. Today, this nation is more divided, polarized, conflicted, self serving, vulgar, obtuse and obnoxious than at any time since the American Civil War. More's the pity.
Yes... and no. While I can honestly admit to being concerned, I also feel that, at this juncture, the situation is irreparable and I'm also pragmatic enough to know that I can personally do nothing to mitigate said situation so, I will just deal with it as it comes.
