Imploding nation?

With the hate speech on the rise in America, much on Facebook and other "social" media I want to say to us, breathe and don't respond to the provoking, at least until you have given yourself time to think it through. Your angry words are more likely to be met with more angry words than by clear thinking.

It appears that this empire is in the process of imploding. If so it will be horrendous. Each of us have an impulse for self preservation and if we focus only on that at the expense of all others we will all fall. 

I am frightened, sad and angry.  I know I'm not alone in this.
