Helpful reminders, George.

Individual habits are also group, community, and national habits. Your five regrettable's likely apply at all levels.

The quibbles over trade and immigration. The more we have, the more prosperous and secure our lives are.

Appreciation of the other nation. China has been manufacturing our goods, which enormously benefited us in America.

The negative of EU rules and Syrian refugees got the UK Brexit. Negativity in America delivered Donald Trump.

America is short on dreams. It needs to be opening, reaching, and inspiring the world at a capable pace.

Small and Medium size nations are now asserting themselves against the major powers in the world. Ukraine stood up to mighty Russia. Israel and Saudi Arabia have recently challenged American decisions.

Many thanks. Best.
