Want to really make America great again ?

Not so long ago, the United States used to be the world's leader in about everything, but in recent years, its has been overtaken by the rest of the developed world. Even developing nations have been catching-up fast with America and are now ahead of us in several areas like infrastructure, for instance.

As a nation, we must keep on evolving if we don't want to be left behind and it should be done vastly differently than the way Trump would like it. First, our nation's constitution should evolve with a changing society and culture.

Too often, it has stood in the way of progress because we don't want to amend it intelligently. Instead, we are blinding ourselves with that false-belief of “American Exceptionalism”. With a little more realism, common-sense and humility, we could change all of that and adopt best practices as I was suggesting not so long ago.

We could also work on freedom from religion, not just “of” religion, and we might end up with a more enlightened society. Finally, instead of building a wall south of the border, let's make sure simple pedestrian bridges we build, don't collapse and kill Americans on the day they're installed!
