>>509341511It was up until it wasn't and right around the decline of American society and loss of societal cohesion.
I live my values. Most people don't, my values are rooted in cohesion, unity, cooperation, and abundance charity.
My belief system has provided greatly for me and I would recommend you check out how hutterites live. I'm pretty similar and interact with them sometimes, although I have no religious affiliation.
I believe in the Americans values of self reliance, preservation of nature, and above all else, hospitality.
I smile at strangers and I don't ask your politics before I feed you.
I happen to think I'm pretty american but I also believe most Americans lost their values, so what do I know I guess....
