I think it is possible that it is all part of a master plan, yes, but I 
prefer to believe as you do that there is no plot, just a reaction to 
corruption and normal social evolution.  I want to believe that it is 
all coincidence, but I can't shake the notion (now even I am saying 'the 
notion' OMG, I'm brainwashed!<g>) that somehow our country is a puppet 
of someone...I don't know who.  The Chinese are a patient enemy and have 
long said that they will inherit the US after we have collapsed.  The 
Chinese have most of the ports now, the Superhighway plans are still on 
the books, and Walmart is in place as a great distribution system 
throughout North America.  If they convert or eliminate the people, 
China doubles their territory.  How's that for a conspiracy theory?? 
<G>  Seriously, I doubt that would be the case, but it is hard to get 
these things out of your head sometimes.  Maybe the Boogeyman isn't the 
Chinese or the Russians, maybe it is the Bilderbergers or others who 
want world population to be 30 million....
I don't know if it was arranged, or by who, but it seems logical that 
Communist countries would have a long term plan for us the way we feed 
MTV and blackmarket goods to Iran.  They are subjected to our long term 
plans, so I am not naive to think that such things don't exist.  We 
should never underestimate our enemies.  For 100 years, Marxist ideas 
are growing in popularity as world population increases.  Perhaps 
Capitalism isn't the best system either, but a lot of people in the 
world are certainly enamored with the system...you don't hear too many 
people enamored with Communist or Socialist countries.  The end result 
might end up being that Communism and Capitalism will duke it out and 
weaken each other.  In the process, the people become lost sheeples. 
Out of that chaos, that desperation, Islam will emerge, as it is a 
religion, an economic and financial system, a system of government, a 
leglislative and justice system, and a social model.  Islam will gobble 
up the undecided masses of Europe first.  I think it is already 
happening, and the US and Canada will be next. Already, some of Obama's 
advisors have promoted sharia in certain legal cases(Harold Koh and 
Magahed).  These are slow, bloodless processes in general.  I honestly 
wish I knew what the truth really was.

I agree.  I think the demoralization came when families were split 
either by divorce, both parents working, etc.  You just can't expect 
child care providers(non-familial) to do the job of the parent and 
instill a sense of morality and righteousness to children.  There is no 
longer a close knit village to help raise a kid.  In the old days, I was 
just as afraid of my friends Dad as I was my own...it was a different 
world.  Add in that kids are no longer outside learning to deal with 
conflict by playing and socializing, but are inside blasting away their 
conflicts on video games, and you end up with kids who have no sense of 
reality and morality. IMO, that is why so many are coming back from the 
Middle East so messed up.  Of course, many veterans from previous wars 
have come back with PTSD and other disorders, but this generation of 
soliders did not go into this with a realistic expectation of what would 
happen.  They'd been kicking ass on Ghost Recon, and think they are 
invincible.    Oh well...that's kind of simplistic, but I am just not 
good at expressing myself.

I am not religious, as you know, but I think there is great hypocrisy 
and double standards in our separation of church and state doctrine. 
Our children can't pray before a football game, but a president(both 
Bush and Obama did this) can celebrate the feast of Ramadan with a state 
dinner.  We have God on our Money, but not in our courthouses...Muslim 
girls cannot wear hijabs to school, but Jewish boys can wear yamakas and 
anyone can dress up like Satan on Halloween.  It is craziness, and 
sometimes I think we have lost the spirit of that separation of religion 
and government.
