We are truly a nation in decline morally, intellectually, economically and militarily. Our children and grandchildren will live in a country none of us will recognize and it will not be pretty. The worst of it is that it is just human nature taking it's course and it is no longer if but when the total collapse will take place. The US has served as the world's hegemon for more than 100 years but that is coming to an end and, unfortunately the country taking our place (China) is unlikely to be as freedom loving and magnanimous as we have been to say the least.
