We died in 1988

Who cares what the subject is. It quickly ceases to matter anyhow:

Am I the only person ashamed of what this nation has become?

Thank God President Reagan didn’t live to see this.

We have pissed it all away in less than twenty years.

Yup, going from the cold war the the lone superpower sure has sucked! We're just starving to death here!

The Magical Mischief Tour knows who to blame:

America lost its vision about the time we elected Klintoon. It will take something horrific and world altering such as a VERY MAJOR war to wake up the American People again.

If by 'vision' you mean 'only voting for Republicans' then yes.

historyrepeatz:

The death of testosterone and drive. It started in the schools with the oppression of boys and the empowerment of girls. Yes, Apollo 13 was a failed mission, but if you watch the movie, take note of the drive, passion and innovation of the men on the ground as well as the astronauts. Couple the demasculinization of men with the many federal regulations governing workplace behavior aimed at paralyzing men... Let’s just say it’s no wonder we can’t do ANYTHING anymore.

Women: no drive.

pieceofthepuzzle thinks it's the darkies:

We have had major demographic shifts, in large measure thanks to the democrats, and we have ceased to be a melting pot. We are more like a cauldron, with lots of different ingredients that just don’t seem to be mixing very well. I’m not talking about race etc.. I don’t care what someone looks like, or where they come from. It’s about the desire to assimilate and become ‘American’. There doesn’t seem to be a national identity anymore.

Same as people said about the Irish and Germans and Italians. Same as it ever was.

When we stopped sending men to the moon we stopped finding inteligent life.

Want to find intelligent life on Mars, put Men on Mars.

Wait, what?
