Without a doubt, America has become complacent, the education has declined, the divisiveness is epidemic, and corruption has become less accountable.
Agree with all of that. Unfortunately, you can't bring up America's Greatness of the 1950's without being laughed and shouted down before the first idea is exchanged... The Waltons, much less Andy Griffith, are now bywords for everything ridiculous about an unspeakably naive era...
Libertarians and social conservatives of my stripe are bleating constantly that America is letting slip that which once made it great, but it is not often we are taken at all seriously...

I fear that the judicial fairness, the opportunity, the spirit of individual ambition, the spirituality, etc etc are in 2011 merely echoes ... psychic resonance of what they had two generations ago... what will we do if and when the echoes disperse and finally vanish...
The points about health care are substantive also my friend...
Awesome post :cpoints:
