In today's American society, it seems that everybody is at odds, growing to more extreme separation with each passing year. The left believes it is on the right path for the future, and the right believes we have drifted so far from first principles that we must immediately stop and recover the individual liberty enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. How did we get to this point? What fired up fellow Americans that they have taken such strident public postures? Will friends and families continue down this path of a house divided? These important questions are addressed in this historical reflection on the societal confrontation facing our nation, the important consequences of that struggle, and some tips for making constructive changes in your community as well as how to make voting decisions.From colonial beginnings and the legal inheritances from England, Americans began a journey to find individual fulfillment through personal liberty. Free of the constraints of Europe, the Americans grew to build a superpower that has allowed the individual to thrive. This has expanded over the years to include women and minorities, but the march proved arduous and difficult. Unfortunately, American society and over two centuries of freedom and prosperity is at risk from promises of everything for everybody.Insidious Changes urges Americans to consider alternatives to bickering and proposes solutions within the system of self-government that has expanded freedom over time. With a few simple steps, each American can make a difference in recapturing the American promise and its ever-expanding qualities.
