Older now, having seen where our country has headed in the last twenty years, I feel less for the country itself and more for the principles it was founded on, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence.

It's the leader's like you said. Last few presidents haven't personified a real patriot feeling, with the one we have now, I get something like America is a great nation, lets work to change that,
I watched Red Skeleton as a kid, he was the best, made everyone laugh.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
