If it does collapse it will be because of the most fundamental sin: the refusal to think. Those who demand the unjustified whether it be welfare or a job that they have not earned will destroy it. Those who hold sacrifice as a virtue and achievement as a vice are undoing it. Those who punish success and reward failures are rotting it from within. Those who act not on reason and a long range view towards the future but instead on the whim of the moment are bringing it down.

That's a key issue too, we have too many people who do not know how to use freedom like we used to. To them, "freedom" means "freebies" and freedom from thinking. Critical thinking is lost.
