Are we really a civilized nation?
America is unwinding bye the seams.
A civilized nation don't attack another country with lies
A civilized nation don't torture prisoner's.
A civilized nation don't jail children.
A civilized nation cares for their old and young.
A civilized nation holds fair elections.

America is none of these, and we are venturing, further and further into a state of corruption. Our leaders and courts are criminals, thieves, liars, and madmen.

I don't know how, or when people became so detached from reality, but it is going to destroy us all.

We pollute our air, destroy our forests, use our oceans as trash cans, and continue to repress the less fortunate.

While America is falling deeper and deeper into an abyss, our people believe they have a lord, or god that is going to welcome them with open arms. If there is a god, surly he is weeping for these people, who say they are worshiping him, While they are destroying his creation, and killing his innocent.

So much for living in a civilized nation.

3. We are definitely devolving.
America is becoming more and more a Social Darwinist/neo-fascist nightmare dreamed up by a willfully ignorant, self-centered, and amoral public.
