Yes, America 'you've come a long way, baby'
 We recognize the slogan, don't we? An attractive woman holding her cigarette for everyone to "See how far I've come."
Well, today we all know how far women(and men) have come ... toward shocking increase in deaths by cancer and other lung diseases. Now, before you say, "Yea, yea, I know" let's use that "You've come a long way baby" to apply to America.
This great nation has also "come a long way, baby" and too much of it has been downhill. Moral, ethical, social and spiritual decline are obvious to anyone paying attention. It reminds me of the 1940s and our shocked disbelief on how a whole nation of German people could allow a Hitler-controlled society to abort that vast multitude of Jews, simply because they did not want them in the human family. Yes, I did say "abort." Don't limit, or restrict, your definition of "abort" to a fetus. Check the dictionary and you will find one definition of what "abort" is: "To terminate prematurely." Now, how many of those Jewish people, murdered in an "ethnic cleansing" holocaust (could they speak) would say that their lives were "terminated prematurely"? How many professions, how many great contributions to humanity, how many family relationships, were "aborted" ("terminated prematurely")?
