United States is changing for the worse

In the span of our lifetimes, we see many changes occur. I can recall when garage door openers first came available. I thought we had hit the top in laziness! Now we are on the thresshold of driverless cars.
I never thought I would see the day that the phone number showing on my caller ID wasn't the person who was actually calling, something called 'spoofing” that no one can stop.
And I never thought I would see the day in this once great country when lying didn't matter, the day when our highest office constantly misrepresents and lies. It doesn't seem to matter to the people.
In our 2016 presidential election, there was much concern by our government officials about Russian interference. Whatever Russia may do to us, it is nothing compared to what we have done to ourselves.
