Dear Editor,
Now that Elvis has left the building, the “C”s have now left the United States of America.
The first “C” (Common Sense) began leaving back in the 1960’s. In 2011 writer Philip K. Howard released his book The Death of Common Sense. In it he said, “We need a new idea of how to govern. The current system is broken.”
Common sense no longer exists in this country. If you don’t believe it, just drive down the street!
The next “C drawing its last breath is Customer Support. Most businesses don't even know how to spell it, much less practice it. Try getting the right item ordered in a reasonable time. All I ever hear is, “We’re shorthanded.”
Another “C” that is crippled is Conservative. Nowadays, the sick conservative has no backbone and is sick on liberalism. We now have about 435 sick humans in government in Washington, DC.
Another “C that is sick is Current American Workmanship. This Cancer began right after WWII in this country. America began to assist those losers in this war, and low quality merchandise arrived on the scene. That now includes Chinese Junk.
I’m sure there are as many sick “C” as there are alphabet letters in our language. Howard was absolutely right: The current system is broken.
