Sources of Destruction of the U.S.

The following are the sources of the current destruction of the U.S.

  • The 24 hour news cycle which is forced to fill the "down time" with useless junk like Michael Jackson or emotional overloading of Terri Schiavo.
  • The now full-time political campaign which now includes the use of talks shows.
  • Congress spending out of control.
  • More efficient means of communication, or better yet, the overloading of communication devices.
  • Sensory overload.
  • Willful ignorance of the general population.
  • Cynicism.

Cynicism is a by-product of the others. Over the last couple of decades, the tarps have been sliding off the once underhanded spin-counterspin cycles. It's bare-nekkid spinning now and it's not pretty. It's difficult not to lower one's eyes.
