1. Lack of personal accountability- people want to blame others for their problems and don't like the hard truth for answers.
2. Our moral and value system- the very idea the celeberty gossip is considered news makes me ill. Please see the Jersey Shore for further reference
3. Education- Parents bitch about the schools being to easy, then bitch when their kids bring homework home (please also see number one here, because it is never the kids fault it is the school, teachers, coach....).
4. Abuse of "freedom"- this plays into number two, people think they should have the "freedom" do do whatever they want. Well look where that has put us.
Going back to the values of the 40's and 50's would do wonders for this country. In my head that would fix all of the problems I have listend and put this country back on top.
