Can American soil be brought back to life?
Like a lot of things, soil infertility is a symptom of a much larger societal problem. Within society, there are many different competing groups that have &quot;the answer&quot;. Progressives want a specific list, conservatives want another list, city dwellers want a list (irrespective of being progressive or conservative), country dwellers want another, business owners want their own list, workers want another, government wants a list, law enforcement wants one, radicals want one, etc., stc., etc.<p>All of these lists of wants are at cross purposes. All of it  is based on self-interest. Very little of it is based on a wider responsibility for all citizens and the country that supports them.<p>This won&#x27;t change as people won&#x27;t give up on their list of wants. The attitude of &quot;us and them&quot; just reinforces the basic problems. Is there a solution? Most certainly. But it requires a change in the basic attitudes of every citizen and most will object to having to face who and what they are.<p>When a society is focus on &quot;rights&quot; instead of responsibilities then the society loses its ability to think in the large. When a government is focussed on it continuation and power it loses sight of its responsibility to build society.<p>There is no short term solution that is a quick fix. In the case of America, it is heading down the path of civil war and devastation because pretty well every level in the American society is in the mindset of &quot;them and us&quot;. This is obvious to anyone who opens their eyes. Law enforcement has forgotten that they are there to serve and protect the citizenry and not themselves. Government is self-serving. Corporations are treating their customers as slaves and a resource to control. The general population is focussed on their own little problems of day to day self-gratification.
