Two Decades

I was wondering what kind of life my grandkids will have two decades from now. Twenty years from now they will be adults. They will probably have kids of their own by then. Will they have happy, prosperous, fulfilling lives?

But it will be very difficult for them to have happy, prosperous, fulfilling lives if the community they live in is wracked by crime, violence, poverty and unemployment. They will need to live in a community that is safe and secure, has functioning utilities, opportunities for education, faith and work. These are necessary elements to have a good life in America or any country. But it will be very difficult to have a prosperous, well-functioning community if the entire nation is wracked by dissension, violence and crime. No island is immune to the torments of the sea that surrounds it. Ideological divisiveness infects our city councils and local school boards. Crime is rampant in our major cities.
