I don't think this is healthy for the country


I just saw this movie trailer for the latest version of "Red Dawn" that came out this weekend:



This concerns me that this feeds the worst of us and it feeds the worst in us.

For every gun-toting, Right Wing, already-paranoid person in the country that thinks and assumes our nation is "going to hell", especially because women and Hispanics and black Americans are gaining in political power and because we have the worst economy in the last 80 years, since the Great Depression, this movie only feeds their paranoia, I think, and their desire to take gun or guns in hand and "fight back."

The fact is, our enemies aren't nearly as likely to attack us from without, as shown in this movie as we ourselves have been to do our country harm by not working together, all of us, as Americans, and solving our problems together.
