'This country is going to the dogs!'

I remember my grandfather saying that back in the 1960s, and I guess every generation reaches a point when it apppears to be true.    I would contend now that the country has not only already gone to the dogs, but that they have already gorged on its flesh and are even now gnawing at the bones.    The wounds are deep, and the scars they leave will be ugly, but I honestly believe that if those of us who care about the future of this country stand up and be counted, it can recover with at least some of it's dignity intact.
