The last great generation of patriotic Americans is nearly gone. Along with them go the moral/ethical principles that brought this country to such a high level in the first place.
These new generations are fully corrupt or indoctrinated and incapable of rising to anything great except from a small number of them who were brought up under the old value system. But those numbers are becoming very few. Certainly not even close to enough to turn it around.
So what is the solution? It's like an Alcoholic who is near death from his addiction. The only way to turn it around is to hit bottom, then start over with an acute awareness.
So accurate, your analysis...unfortunately many alkies just die or waste away instead of recovering; many commit suicide, as our country so painfully obviously IS doing..!
Believe me I know of what I type...been sober over 13 years now...
