...this guy! You know, as an American, what I'm looking forward to? A new President, whoever it is. New frontiers of science and technology . New infrastructure. A revived space program. Starting a family of my own.
Being an American is still the greatest gift to be born into. I'm lucky to be who and what I am, and where I'm from.
As long as most Americans think like that, and they do, then decline is an academic topic, not a reality.
From the poltiical speeches with record numbers of viewers, to historic debates, predicted records for voter turn outs, and heck, the annual 4th of July celebrations, being American still means a tremendous amounts to a lot of people.
So decline? The every day American, despite economic hardship, is having nothing of it.
