Ross, how about the fact that socialism is growing in Amerika led by the ultra left and "takers".  America once had families, now not so much.  America once had parents to spent time with their children rather than allowing and encouraging the left wing socialists to bring up their children to get no education.   America once had political leaders who had the interests of Americans in mind rather then the fools elected by fools whose first and only goal is to get a job and #2 is to stay in a job. We have lost the admirable characteristic of "get r done" for "gimme, gimme, gimme".
