Maybe it's news like this that is required for the people to wake the hell up. Personally, i think anyone who doesn't think we aren't on a slide downward is living in denial. I call it "Blind patriotism". We're raised from the earliest age that just because it's the united states we are either a.) always on the side of right or the just, or b.) that "it" (very bad things that happen in other countries throughout history) can't happen here. Why? Simply because this is America, and for no other reason. Sad truth is, we are not the greatest anymore, and we still think we are. Until we get it into our fat head's we aren't, nothing is going to change except how much more power our government has over us.
