The long term way out of cultural gridlock

Our cultural gridlock, the complete halting of our overloaded system, is the natural outcome of trying to turn a formerly European and Christian nation into a nation of all religions, all cultures, all ethnic groups. Human nature simply does not melt that way, people always prefer their own culture.

But all is not lost. The way out of our cultural gridlock is not to demand more of the same cultural Marxism, which attempted to make us all get along by trying unsuccessfully to destroy all our differences.

The way out of our cultural gridlock is to reaffirm the independent small states and regions of America, which were intended by our original Constitution. We are lucky to have this legal way out of our difficulties. We need to reaffirm the 10^th Amendment. Each state and region can be as different as they choose to be, protected by a light federalism.

Of course, even the lightest protective federalism is not easy, it is never easy to keep our differences from boiling over, which is why it is so important to separate our differences in small states and regions---unless we want one of the bad “isms:” imperialism, Marxism or fascism, which cause more problems than they may temporarily solve.

And I dare say that a Europe, Russia and China of thousands of states is the long term way to deal with their differences as well. Then we can all get on with the sacred task of evolving outward into the cosmos.
