America Is Fractured! Why Did It Happen? Visionary Predicted It In 1990

I post this now for my subscribers and others because I am concerned for where my country, The United States of America, is going. I am a decided individualist. I have lived my life as an American individual doing it my own way. Trying my best. Working hard. Committed to what I am doing. Always believing there will be a positive outcome.

But my country is so fractured now (2022). Two different world views of America and what we should be. Seeming to find no common ground.

Back in 1990, I interviewed this visionary man. Rushworth Kidder. I asked him to reflect on his generation, the 1960s, the baby boomers, a bit younger than me in terms of my birthdate but I consider myself to be a member of the 60s generation.

At the time, he saw bad times coming in a fractured country and describe the reasons for it and the need he felt to come together again or our country could change radically and disintegrate as the democracy we have known.

Rush speaks about American individualism, about the feeling that our heroes were the Lone Ranger, a hermit, a mountain man. He honors American entrepreneurism and our entrepreneurs and their amazing creativity and in terms of business, courage. But he feared that what was coming as a result was not a unified country feeling we were one people, one nation, but a divided country that would eventually split us apart.

Rushworth Kidder was the author of several books and the founder of the Institute For Global Ethics. A Quaker. Journalist. Unusually articulate. I made several films with him and always enjoyed his perspective. #ethics #babyboomers #individualism #americanhistory #1960s #rushworthkidder
