Society’s failures = rapid U.S. decay

Indifference toward our societies’ failures will result in America’s rapid decay. Early failures:

› Discarded the Native American’s culture and human rights.

› Allowed African-American slavery, segregation and prejudices.

› Ignored the constitutional rights of WWII Japanese-American citizens.

› Failed to plead for the oppressed by a majority of religious voices.

› Failed to allow and provide women and minorities full citizen and social rights.

Latest failures:

› Failure of society to understand and counteract the eroding effects of divorce, dual-parent wage earners and devious new technologies on traditional family parenting practices.

› Failure of society/government to abide, sustain and protect this country’s traditional Judeo-Christian cultural values.

› Failure of government to act on new and past technologies (guns, erroneous/ vile media communications, social networks, robotics, artificial intelligence, etc.). Government avoids responsibility to mandate a principled scientific study or, where needed, impose steps to counteract the negative consequences of technology on our democracy and/or culture.

› Failure of government to temper the concentration of wealth, power and entitlement within a very small minority and to mandate the obligation of all citizens to provide some form of service (military, civic, etc.) to the country.
