So, the cities are broke; the country is broke; and we're just sitting around watching TV, doing next to nothing, apparently. The big question now is what comes next: a sudden crash, or a slow decline.
One constant is change - we could shrink the size of government and bring the troops home. We could be creative again, in order to deal with the danger that lies ahead. But, the old crowd and most of the new crowd are just sitting there, watching TV and following Breaking Bad, one of the most depressing shows to come down the pike in a long time! We're now fascinated with the lives of criminals. Check out some of the lyrics on new popular music. How can we survive the future? "My nature is pessimistic. I look on a world burdened by debt and faced by a fanatical enemy that has nuclear weapons, and I find it hard to see how we can avoid what at best would be a very hard time."
