Right now the USA is somewhat troubled, even despondent. A large number of Americans despise the president and all those who voted for him, while others believe he's the perfect guy for the job. Both sides of the ideological spectrum share the same land and language and currency, but we are as divided as any time since the Vietnam era.

This is the time of year when many Americans sit back and watch Frank Capra's 'It's a Wonderful Life.' For some of us it will be for the tenth or twentieth time.
You probably know the story. Ambitious and adventurous George Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart, suffers a string of bad breaks and is actually considering ending his life. Fortunately for George, his quirky little guardian angel Clarence Odbody intervenes with a genius solution.
The not-exactly-angelic-looking angel decides to show George what life in Bedford Falls would have been like had he never been born, and how his decency and goodness made his town such a far better place. Clarence, of course, earned his wings, and many of us shed more than a few tears.
Now, let your imagination run wild for a moment. Substitute the United States of America for George Bailey, and the Planet Earth for Bedford Falls.
Right now the USA is somewhat troubled, even despondent. A large number of Americans despise the president and all those who voted for him, while others believe he's the perfect guy for the job. Both sides of the ideological spectrum share the same land and language and currency, but we are as divided as any time since the Vietnam era.
Meanwhile, polls show that most Americans say the country is on the "wrong track." Our cities are plagued with violence and many rural areas are suffering from malaise and joblessness and drug addiction. Summing it up, to borrow from Dickens, these are not the best of times in wide swaths of the USA.
