ok.....I'll be odd man out and be serious..

the moral decay of our nation........and it's subsequent destruction of our country.

everyone feels entitled.......greed and corruption.....everyone is fat and happy..........everyone thinks the government is the answer to our problems....nobody takes responsibility....everyone is feigning being offended.....honesty and hard work have become laughable traits....God is being systematically removed from everyting....everyone worships celebrities.....kids are not being tough science and math.......public schools are broken........parents are no longer being parents.......the patriotism and genuine pride in our country that I saw as a kid is now considered a joke, or at the very least, a thing of the past to most americans.

In short........all signs lead to our eminent death as a nation...sooner than most may realize.

I kind of miss what I saw as a kid....men wore suits and hats and ties...ladies in dresses...just to go out to dinner.  that feeling of self respect and respect for others is dead and gone.  God help us all.

Summed it up perfectly.

Not on your life.
I hate suits and despise ties.

creeping socialism and loss of individual freedom.

An Ayn Rand novel or orwell's 1984 used to give us nightmares..  Now we are living in them.

Eyesight fades, the bend and snap of youth has gone, a lot of conscious effort to do simple things creeps into daily life.
I despise the idea of limitations, and yet they creep in, a little bite at a time.
Decades still to come, a list of things I should do every day that I just never do.
I feel the 'Golden Years' are a crock.

And yet.. the close smile of my Lady.
Years of shared everything.
Grandkids.
Flying.
Drag racing.
The enthusiasm of the young as you exchange ideas and see them 'get it' and run with it.
Every time the Vette fires up.

..and 187mph on a deserted, very nice road, in the early morning sun.

Golden.

i have an idea, lets start planing the new gov. i mean i feel like you, about our current gov./society
so maybe even a new thread about the next gov. of the U.S. what it should be , what it can and cannot do,
 a constitution written in plain English as we speak it today instead of  , "lawyer speak" so that our courts are not tied up with trying to figure out what the definition of "is" is! ( unless we decide not too have courts at all  )
