Very well said. I don't see anything here that I can really disagree with though I do hope that you're wrong about our collapse.

I take some comfort in the fact that we tend to see all of the bad and sometimes overlook the good. Believe it or not, there are many good people out there and they're not as visible as the bad.

I often wonder about it myself, I remember my father talking about such a collapse as far back at the early 1970's. I don't know, maybe America as we know it has "jumped the shark," like you, I hope not, but seeing what has been going on, I have a few questions that need answered. I'm not ready to give up the fight though but if it happens, it happens and maybe afterward would be an opportunity to rebuild, but we are getting ahead of ourselves here. One of my hobbies is "alternate history," science fiction, and speculating on the future, so yes, I do think about these things from time to time.

True, it's like the idea where "man bites dog" is news, deviancy and abnormalcy (like President Harding with "normalcy," I think I made up a new word B-)) do make the news and I would have to say being in topic, homosexuality is abnormal so there ya go. There are plenty of good people out there I have seen and I am convinced that there will be some way things will be set right, collapse or no collapse, but it seems like we are going through a lot of flak now. The trouble is that we have these judges who thinks God died and left them in charge and are making laws, that's where the trouble resides along with a willing media where they believe "anything goes."
