  16. I'm Australian but went to college in the late 80s. I did engineering but a pack of my frat brothers were pre-law so I ended up in many discussion about the US Constitution. I am staggered at what's happened. FIRST - that civics is no longer taught because Americans WERE once proud that they knew and understood their country and how it functioned better than other people from other nations understood their constitutions. They were stunned how little I knew of the Australian Constitution. SECOND - I am amazed that things like the Patriot Act exist, as it stomps on the 4th Amendment. Of all the Amendments we ever discussed the 4th was the most discussed. They all looked at Soviet Russia and the Eastern Block and said "NO - we will not have that stuff." THIRD - (And I used to raise this) What would happen when America was faced with an angry frustrated mob that didn't care. My way of putting it back then was "What do you think a starving person would do - accept the money in your right hand or kill you for the hamburger in your left hand." In those days there was the famine in Ethiopia and Iran-Contra and my point was: "Selling guns and bombs to maniacs wasn't sound foreign policy." And that was over a decade before 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Benghazi and lots of other stuff. What I was totally wrong about was that I never guessed the real threat to America was coming from its far right. In those days there was a series of sex scandals and fraud scandals with the fundamentalist preachers. So we all thought the far radical right were done. From everything my frat brothers and others told me this is NOT the America the founding fathers envisioned or wanted. I truly do hope America finds a way back from this madness.
