Ok so we've gotten a bit lazy and self-indulgent (like the Romans) but I don't think you need to go snooping around that far back in history to
understand America's plight.
Reason #1:
Illegitimate children. Funny how that GOPUSA tries to blame the decline of America on gays, what a bunch of baloney! Heterosexual couples screwed
things up a long time ago by treating marriage like a high school dating affair.
Reason #2:
The women's movement! Yes I'm probably asking for dozens of U2Us from angry females picking me as their #1 foe. Don't get me wrong... I applaud
women who stand up for themselves. Recent history shows how women have come out from behind the shadow of men. Unfortunately when you empower
somebody it means they'll be less likey to stay in a bad relationship. Thus women feel more empowered to call off a bad situation.
Even a (well working) modern relationship has flaws. With both sexes in the workforce, neither parent is home when the kid gets out of school.
Reason #3:
Youth work ethic. Today kids are raised in a pop-culture which teachers them to be a famous athlete, actor, or musician. Everyone wants to be famous
and thinks they're entitled to as much money as they can hord, with as little work as possible.
Conclusion:
The best thing for Americans to do is get educated, find a partner who cares for you as much as you care for them, have two or less kids.
