The final frontier is right here
Humanity does have a soul. The quality of that soul is not well represented by the media, political conversation and by the tragic events in Tuscon. People look at the images and listen to the sound bites spewing out of our news outlets and see nothing to be proud of, many things to be ashamed of. If Gabrielle Giffords was a higher profile politician, like Sarah Palin, the nation would not be in mourning, it would be in turmoil. Instead of sadness, riots, no candle-lit vigils, but burning. We are one assassins bullet away from disaster. The nation needs to turn it’s collective eyes and ears away from things that divide, and towards things that unite. The path the country is on is a declining track and Blame Game Inc., is laying the foundations for a bumpy ride, downhill. Space was supposed to be “The Final Frontier” the final frontier is where it’s always been, right here at home. Despite our huge failings, we are capable of greatness, but that road is uphill and hard work. It is the only road we should be on.

What an astonishingly uplifting video, despite being rather optimistic with regard to those who will follow us in the generations to come. Regardless I hope their optimism proves to be well-deserved.
I agree with you. We need to look inward. The question is whether or not we can bear to accept what we see. There is no doubt that if we don’t take action to change who we have become then certainly something wicked this way comes.
