"What we need are critical lovers of America - patriots who express their faith
in their country by working to improve it."
Hubert H. Humphrey
Modern
America
The turn of the 19th to the 20th century
brought vast changes in the way people thought, worked and
lived. Two world wars, one cold war and numerous smaller
conflicts have been fought. Globalization has changed the face
of commerce. We live longer and travel faster. Communication
is now instantaneous and world wide. Wars are deadlier and
more violent We have gone to the moon and are on the
verge of reaching for the stars. The world is going through a
period of change that will lead to either a bright or a
lethal future. We need to make choices that will be both wise
and comprehensive.
