Yes, at times it seems like a bit of a circle-jerk. But for breaking news like in LA, it’s becoming more relevant. I hope this trend continues.

Feeling shame these days is perfectly rational, I do as well. I think America was alway real, but also had its very dark side— which many people suffered under. This is not a new problem, but one we mostly thought we had put behind us. Apparently not. Keep on truckin’ and so will I.

I’m sorry you feel this way, but it makes sense. Things do seem bleak in many ways. I would say, America (the idea) is still worth loving and striving towards. We’ve had many dark times in the past, but as Obama said, “the arch of history always moves forward”. Keep the faith and do your best.
