This book offers analyses of national and global issues with proposed realistic solutions. Most people have much to be thankful for, yet over a billion people barely survive in poverty. The answers to this and most of our national and global problems are already right under our noses. Whether our nation and world improves or survives depend to a great degree on the will of people to work toward positive changes to the existing system of things. It is not necessary to overthrow any government, economic system, culture, religion or philosophical ideas, but only to recognize the facts and to deal with them in constructive ways.
