Will america ever decide to work as one unit and try to make america the best it can be?

Question

capone --

i also like dogs and children. sorry i never bashed anyones head in with a baseball bat like you did

Answer 1

No.  There is too much divisive rhetoric and too many close minded people to actually come to a consensus and work together.  I know that's a terribly cynical view of things, but it's they way I've seen things move over the past 20 years or so.

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

we've been working on that the last 232 years

Answer 4

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

Even JFK would have a tough time uniting the present USA after the divisiveness of the last two administrations.

I believe America will come back together only after the next catastrophic terrorist attack on our soil.

Which I expect to happen shortly after the new President is sworn in.

Answer 5

it doesn't look that way because politics always gets in the way

Answer 6

There was a really good chance for this right after 9-11, but GWB squandered that opportunity.

If the economy does not improve there is a chance that you might see a more unifying effect if the leadership in America takes the proper steps...

The problem is that usually people give into their lesser evils and try to blame others...which just contributes to more divisiveness....

Answer 7

I have hope that this country will put all the lobbyist in jail and give the people the right to choose. Right now it looks as though they're going to the highest bidder. Corruption is always going to upset the apple cart. Since the majority of us are not rich, we'll have to keep fighting for our freedom.

Answer 8

I think there are more of us out there wishing to do this very thing.  Problem is, we are not controversial.

We are boring, and news-worthless.

Answer 9

As you can see the reason we do not work as one unit is simple - excuses.

A body is a single unit, each part doing its job. Hearts do not try and digest food and stomachs do not try and pump blood. Each organ doing its job and the body works.

A body of people is the same. If each person worked on fixing what they think is broken, even if only on an individual level, and didn't waste time complaining about what they thought was broken, then things would improve.

However, since it is easier to sit back and just gripe and make excuses that is as far as most people get.

Answer 10

Are you a Modern day Liberal? I'm getting a lot of emotion in this question.

Answer 11

With all the different ethnicities and no one assimilating anymore. I would doubt it. Too many radicals on all fronts. Religion, PETA types, right wing hate machine (aka talk radio), etc...

Answer 12

I dont think so

all the different ethnic groups look out for themselves first and america second
