HerbH: We’re Going Downhill Fast

Herb Huseland: Now we have the offspring of those that dropped out, dropped down and let it all hang out. It is no wonder that our society has floundered, considering that the past generation has cast out all that has been held holy in the birth and growth of our country. The only hope that I have is, first, that I'm old enough to not have to see first hand the demise of our great country, but caring enough to languish about what you younger people are doing to not only yourselves, but those that come after. It might be advisable, to start teaching Chinese in our schools, because unless we start caring about what happens here instead of who buys from whom cheaper, we're toast!

Question: Is this country better/worse off today than when you were a kid?
