A Real State of the Union Speech

   A real state of the union speech, what would it say, one that took to declare where we are as a nation?
   It would summarize our recent scientific contributions, our wealth or lack thereof, our religious leanings and our moral stands. It would assess our beliefs, such as whether we still believe God created the earth and the heavens. It would tell of our struggle with guns, and police violence, and terrorism. It would address our changing beliefs on gays and marijuana, and jail time for drug offenders. It would note we are deeply divided by politics. It would speak of our entertainment and how we spend our free time, of how much we work, and whether we just punch the time clock, or are dedicated to our work.
