There are only two choices. Go along or bloodshed. 250 years ago the streets would of already been covered in blood. So, I do not see anything changing. The big news story of the day is Lebron James; not the oil spill, not Arizona, not the deficit - as long as that is true the country is lost to couch potato looters who like sitting on their a$$ watching sports and waiting for the next check from the government. 235 years was a good run.

Correct!

The 10 stages of Societal Decline takes an average of 200 years to complete. Most experts agree that we are between the 8th and 9th stages. (Apathy-8, Dependency-9)

The final stage is Tyranny-10. Once any nation becomes thoroughly entwined in the Apathy and Dependency stages, there is very little that can be done to stop it.

You make very good points in observation of this culture. This is why a completely inexperienced marxist liar could be elected POTUS - American Idol Elects A President. However, now the consequences of this lame foolishly stupid experiment by the 'couch potatos' has woken everyone up. The Tea Party Movement would have never sprung up with its vehemence other than in response to such an idiotic anti-American agenda. Because of this, the culture you depict won't continue in its ignorant 'bliss'. It can't (unaffordable).

We will know one way or another in a few short months. If the GOP reclaims either House of Congress, 0bama becomes a lame duck and potentially an impeached one. I think there is a 'bloodless' third choice. We'll see.

p.s. did you see 0bama has even lost Streisand??!!!
