Nations Move On

 Nations move on.  In the grand scheme of things nations move on from their darkest hours.  Yes, empires have fallen and of course civilizations do evolve over grand spans of time.  Nations though, certainly can move on and recover from their darker chapters in history.  I guess this is just what I felt like telling myself at the moment and I do believe this will be true for the United States of America. 

One other thought (and of course, there are always exceptions) is that the heart of America still functions well at the level of the American people.
