I'm no economic expert, but I think we are in trouble and have been since the 60's. Everything that fuels the economy is artificial and primarily not based on necessities.

The yuppie generation was not raised to pay-as-you-go, and it reflects in our policies. I don't know what they are thinking, that we will come out on top no matter what happens?

We are teetering on the brink but it could be a long, tortuous descent. Sure there will be the rich, and the rest will be their slaves, cast into a daily struggle for survival. We are seeing some of the symptoms in increased aberrant behavior, crime, drugs.

We are a sick society and those who are propping it up won't be able to keep it up forever due to an ever-increasing undertow.

Your father wasn't off by many years. He may have been right on. Wasn't 1973 Roe vs. Wade? It may seem irrelevant, but that marked the beginning of our slide into the abyss of open and ubiquitous moral degeneracy.

We may not be divided territorily, but we surely will be divided along economic class and cultural lines. People of such diverse cultures do not get along and are not going to learn to get along, no matter what cute little books they will read in school. Gangs are a symptom of cultural malaise.
