Over the course of the last few years the rhetoric from many sides has been disturbing.  In particular is this notion of class warfare.  This is only the start and it seems that all sides are responsible.  A great division has taken place and it will take a great leader to bring all sides back together as one nation.  I did not have high hopes before the recent Presidential elections and any hopes have dimmed quite a bit.

The latest we hear in the media is that thousands of people in many states want to secede from the United States.  This is tantamount to a collapse of a union where there will be no winners.  I’ve heard recently that 55% of the population agree that states that want to separate from the United States, should.  I’m thinking, WTF!!!  Hey folks!  If this were to happen, there would be no more United States of America.  Resources would be divided too.  And what about those that differ within each state?  Would each state further have to divide?  And that’s across the nation.

Do we take this blue state – red state thing even further?  What if we add in those people that are of different age groups?  I remember the 1960’s when the youth had as their motto, “Don’t trust anyone over 30!”  So, what if we simply divide those that are over 30 from those under 30?  How about if we go further and say that we divide it over 4 generations?  Each age with their own country.

Or if we look at the fit versus fat groups.  What if we divided them up into their own countries?  The fit in one and the fat in another.  Or if we divided it by race?  Or gender?  Or socioeconomic status?  Or by education?  Eye color?  Skin color?  Hair color?  Height?  Families?

Heck, we could go so far into the division process that it could end up that each person would be a nation of one.  And if this happened globally, we’d have over 6,970,000,000 nations.  Though, nations would have to come together in order to reproduce and make more nations.  Thereby, preserving the nation-building process.

Have I gone far enough?  I remember this story of where all the body parts were having conflict.  Which each declaring that they were the best.  The brain would say it is the best and that the body could not operate without it in control.

The heart said it was the best, without it their would be no pumping of valuable blood to feed the rest of the body valuable nutrients. The stomach said it was the best, because of it, nutrients are being processed.  The liver said it was the best, because it cleaned out deadly toxins.  The lungs said it was the best because it helped to provide oxygen to the body and brain.

The bones said it was the best because it provided structure to the body.  The muscles said it was the best because it provided strength and movement to the body.  The skin said it was the best because it provided a protective shield to the body.  And so it went that every single part declared they were the best.  So a conflict arose and each declared it would venture on its own.  And they did.

What happened?

The body died.  None of the organs could survive on its own, they all needed each other for unity of strength.

Let’s get the United States of America onto a greater purpose and thrive once again!  We need a great leader to step up and help guide the nation towards that greater purpose.  One that all can work together towards.
