I have thought about this question long and hard. Not only today because it is our topic but over many years.

Some places on earth could be hazardous to visit. I believe the United States of America would be the most hazardous of all.

People are out of control. Guns rule. Thousands of people of all ages are slaughtered each year, not by external war, but by people living in America who like the ways of guns and who like to kill and massacre.

The American Gun Lobby is the most powerful organisation in America and sets the agenda of compliance that all authorities have toward gun ownership and usage.

Guns and crime in America are out of control and to such an extent that in many places major shopping centres have closed down permanently. Shop owners and centre managers can no longer manage to sustain business against the tsunami-like onslaught of crime.

Governments at all levels are all over the place and have no control. Internal upheaval is the way the country runs.

From what I read and hear, America is collapsing in on itself. What we see is the shell but the egg inside has gone bad.

Sadly, Australia is following in America’s footsteps, so we are within the next 10 or 20 years and look forward to the deterioration that has already suffocated America.

In essence, the United States is no longer. There may well be 50 states but they are not united in any way, shape or form.
