i do not believe that the current presidential administration is solely responsible for what rona phillips describes as our "loss of soul..." it has been happening for quite some time, ever since the u.s. collectively (although perhaps not with a full awareness of the consequences) embraced the twin fallacies of its own moral superiority and the equally insidious vacuity that "more stuff" equals happiness... i do believe, however, that bushco has dramatically accelerated our descent into a black void from which it will be extraordinarily difficult to extricate ourselves...
