With sincere thanks to James Fallows who invited me to write this article and to Ben Speggen who is an excellent editor and made this far better than it was, I am linking to my latest article which was published by the Our Towns Civic Foundation.

In this article, I argue that the United States is at an inflection point which will be looked back on by historians in a few hundred years. Whether you agree or disagree with the conclusions, we probably all agree that the country is at some precipice that we can walk back from, but that if we keep moving forward, the slippery slope will catch us and we won’t be able to turn back. Where is that point? I don’t want to find out.

Keep thinking…
