There will ensue here many comments about American culture, and global culture, written by many people. Each comment will reflect an openminded approach to life, and it is hoped that the comments will prove interesting, illumanating, original, and thought provoking. .

Current global circumstances seem to indicate a need for open minded, creative discourse.

What I've seen in my 56 years is enough to convince me that we all need to be talking about what's going on in this world, and how to improve it.

I've never been outside the U.S.A., but my opinion is that American culture, strong in many ways, is also so sick that were it a horse it would be shot...

and what information I get about the situation in various parts of the world indicates to me that
things are not much better anywhere else...

We , the human race, could make this planet a paradise, even more than it already is...anyone who wishes to participate here is invited to do so...
