And, when the steel mills in Pa. closed the people stayed behind.  When the woolen mills in Vermont closed my mother and her sisters remained because there was no where else to go.  I drive across America four or five times a year.  I rarely take the interstate because there is nothing to see.  Driving through the small hamlets of New England, or towns and cities in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Maine, California, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin and so many other area - one phenomenon is abundantly clear - America is dying from within.  It did not start with Obama or Bush or Clinton.  We are now part of a dying way of life.
