text: "The United States of America, as we once knew her, is finished."  And good riddance!
  
  The new, reborn, improved and positive USA could join the rest of the civilized world by embracing single payer health care for all, save lots of money by not starting pointless wars in the middle East, focus on clean, renewable energy, make it possible for intelligent and thoughtful people to run for office and debate actual issues, have an effective third or fourth party and a Congress that can actually function.
