Despite the words of one of America's most iconic presidents, America as a nation does seem to be shockingly unwilling to adapt to certain changes.

Or come to terms with certain realities which the rest of the world seems to have accepted long ago.

"What are Americans not ready to hear?"

When people become set in their ways, they understandably become less and less amenable to change.
