Look at any prior civilisation and you will see the same pattern. We have passed the zenith and are in decline. It may take hundreds of years but we are nonetheless in decline. The time scale is decades or less. My bet is on "or less". This is a good thing not a bad thing - it is necessary to dismantle what we have now in order to build something better. In some cases that is true, but I don't think it applies here. The US Constitution is an incredibly strong foundation upon which to build a country. What we need is not a dismantling, but a return to the principles upon which this country was founded. Instead, what we have now is a society driven by massive greed, selfishness, and idiots who think that "God" tells them personally how things should be. |
