    Letter to the Editor-The Implosion of America: The Top 10 Reasons the End is Near

    I believe America, as a nation, is at an inflection point. If we do not soon find a way to identify a set of unifying principles that that will heal our great divisions, America, as we know it, will no longer exist. Below, I have delineated why I believe this:

    1. Fear of the “other,” of others who don’t look like we do or have our same lived
      experience.
    2. Lack of accepted truth. Truth is left up to one’s interpretation/predilection. Acceptance
      of so called “alternative facts.”
    3. Our leaders’ fear of being attacked on social media, which mutes them from telling the
      real truth.
    4. Tribalism: If you don’t believe EVERYTHING I believe, there is no room for you in my
      tribe.
    5. Lack of willingness to compromise for the greater societal good.
    6. An inability, at the most fundamental level, to resolve conflict.
    7. Our acceptance of a guns at all costs culture.
    8. A lack of principled leadership by national, state, and local leaders.
    9. Our leaders being held hostage by various lobbying groups that support them with
      money for their campaigns.
    10. The politicization of the church that is contributing to a lack of moral leadership.
      I sincerely hope that I am wrong and am open to opinions/feedback that challenge my
      assumptions.
