The Empty Decade: Smoke and Mirrors

[Louisiana1976]

As the first decade of the twenty-first century draws to a close, there is not only despair for the people and events that have crossed our path, but also a fear for the future. As I will explain, our country has fallen to new moral and ethical lows during this time period, characterized by a flagrant disregard for much that we hold near and dear. Still, we might not yet have hit bottom. That is the truly scandalous and scary scenario. The decade of the "naughts", of the zeros, was aptly named: promises and principles were ignored and subjugated for personal gains. The smoke and mirrors, indicative of a bankruptcy of values, prevalent in this decade is just dead empty.
