whether we should support it democracy or brutal dictators and gas prices inflation crime go up or confidence in the direction of our country goes down. crime is something i follow closely because of violent crime impacts victims and their families forever. i really do believe public safety is the preeminent function of government. we continue to deal with the aftermath of political division and all the way it manifests itself. although it is important to note they have had political divisions as long as we have had a country. anyone who thanks thomas jefferson, john adams, george washington were all of one mind, is not studied them very closely. and yet as we look back on the last decade and even the last year, it doesn t seemed like things are different in america. we look back in part because it s easier to see what has happened for and predicting what is going to happen.
