America is more divided now then it’s been in nearly 150 years. This comes from our political polarities, governmental dysfunctions, a corrupted media, our philosophical differences, and out of control, egotistical ways. If we cannot put on lid on this mania, America will lose its status as the world leader as it slowly implodes from the inside out. "Drawn to the Middle" provides a source of resolution for the majority of our problems and societal ills because it utilizes the Middle Way and spirituality to create more harmony and unity in America. It draws its conclusions from the CENTER of all thought which is where the majority of us reside. "The Middle Way" is the only way to repair America but there are many factions standing in its way.
