Why America isn't the greatest country in the world anymore.

This didn't quite bring me to tears, but I sure felt like it.  It's from an Aaron Sorkin series called "Newsroom."  It starts slow, and gets rough to listen to in the middle, but sadly hopeful at the end.  Or that's what I heard, anyway.



It ends on a sad note.  But, to quote from another Aaron Sorkin show, we need to write "the next ten words."

Hiber-Nation 20171012 - Federalist # 5 - The Same Subject Continued: Concerning Dangers From Foreign Force and Influence

Though these essays seem to be separate pieces, they are also organized to work together as a cohesive piece.  Also, as with other old works I've recorded, there are lessons here that apply well to our modern circumstances.  Every day we see "Dangers From Foreign Force and Influence," don't we?
