Dear Editor,
A watch manufacturer has a TV ad that says “Most Americans quit their New Years resolutions by the second Friday of January. It’s called Quitters Day. Look it up.”
A search of the internet reveals that “Enthusiasm for new goals wanes around this time,” and, in fact, “80% of Americans have given up completely by February.”
America truly is a Quitter Nation. We have quit on the values and ethics of our ancestors. We have quit on our Constitutional law and our civil and criminal laws. We have given up on the idea that “hard work is the price for success.” We have left behind the days of the Peanut Farmer President and arrived at the day of the Sexual Predator/Multiple Felony President.
We have little resolve to do good for ourselves, our neighbors, or the world. We are a nation of inveterate windbags.
