It's up to you.
The nation is descending into darkness at a much faster pace than most people understand. Still, there is a sense — national intuition, if you will — that things are not just not good but, actually, pretty bad.
According to an NBC News poll last week, of Americans who think the country is in serious trouble, a majority of those think the United States is at the start of a long-term decline. When you boil down the math, it's a hefty portion who now believe America's best days are behind it.
In short, we are on life support, and our death warrant has been signed — the end of an empire. Of course, these are just people's opinions. On the other hand, these are a lot of people's opinions (just about half).
So these findings, coupled with mountains of anecdotal evidence, raise the question, What, then, of the future (especially for those who are young)? And by "young," we don't mean infants or juveniles. We mean those 18–30-year-olds upon whom these realities will disproportionately fall.
What we are witnessing is not very different from the collapse of the Roman Empire. For Romans, like Americans, it must have seemed that the entire world revolved around Rome, and, for quite a while, it did.
