President Clinton said in his State of the Union speech that never before had America enjoyed such prosperity with no internal or external turmoil. Well I have three words for him: Columbine, China, terrorism.

Granted never before have we experienced the prosperity. But the inner turmoil that we experience cuts to the heart of every American. Never before have we had the mass murders in our public schools. Never before have we sold out our own country to China. Never before has so much terrorism struck our country, not only abroad but within our borders. Just think of the U.S. Embassy bombings or the Oklahoma City bombing or the World Trade Center bombing and the many people we have caught before they could set their bombs.

We may have great prosperity, but free from turmoil. . .far from it!

Is it worth the price?
