100 Days Revisited: Checking In On Bradenton, Fla.
This morning I heard this story from David Greene in which he checks in with a postman and a woman who works at a homeless shelter.

This sense of disillusionment has been a long time coming, certainly. The “we’re the best country” attitude needed to be checked, but now that we’ve lost our belief in our country, where do we turn and how do we solve our mounting problems? I feel as if we’re all mourning the America we thought we once knew.
