Life in America is certainly different from when I entered the job market after serving in the U. S. Army, and going to college and graduate school and getting married.
We raised a family, but it was much easier in those days decades ago. When I see what’s happening to American society today it’s as though I was living on a completely different planet and seeing things through a glass darkly.
Stupidity is the order of today. Dumbing down and showing no concern for the deterioration of society. There is no art; the music and what passes for art is so much filth and garbage.
Sports used to be played by decent, honorable men. Today they’re louts who are tattooed, pierced, with long dreadlocks flowing and who stuff millions into their pockets to be as wasted as they are on narcotics and ‘hos.
The government is now corrupted beyond repair and is truly a central socialist regime. The states are as bad as both tax anything that moves. Many taxes are deliberately buried by the evil professional politicians who belong in a prison or a work compound.
The worm will turn and when it does it won’t be a pretty sight. There may be a payback day in the near future and those who have slurped at the public trough won’t have to wait until judgment day to get their punishment.

I fear you are right. We are only a faded image of the great nation we used to be. The country is barely recognizable from what it was just 25 short years ago.
