I appreciate the shout-out to the Peace Corps. Traveling to rural Central America decades ago changed my life in the best of ways, including a profound appreciation for the luck of being born in this country. Some sort of semi-mandatory national service for high school graduates would massively improve our political and social scene here in the U.S.
Imagine the year is 1998 and you live in the richest country in all of South and Central America and journalist Zaul Jalapeño Arepa pens an article telling you a country is more than a sum of it's politics, less than a generation later you are deduced to eating family pets and zoo animals.
That very well could be and hopefully will be the case.
Nevertheless you should be ashamed of yourself for comparing Oprah to Alex Jones. This man owes more than a billion dollar in damages to first responders and families of Sandy Hook victims. If you want to criticize Oprah for her statement and suggest that it is unnecessarily inflammatory speech, you might have a point. That point is completely lost when you make such a ridiculous comparison. I am sure you are smart enough to know that.

Great message! A country is its people, and as long as we work to support and love each other we will grow and be great together.
Maybe so but if we no longer have open and honest free speech, it's not going to work out for everyone...or ultimately for this country.
