[QUOTE="DSUFLYBOY, post: 3382329, member: 45043"] I have a sincere question regarding America’s future that I hope to receive plausible responses on. Please no “we’ll start a civil war” or “we’ll kill’em all’ macho bravado BS, just sincere plausible hypothetical outcome’s that you have been pondering. I am a Christian white man in my early 40’s that’s married with two children, 5 and 3. I served in the Marines and was honorably discharged before 9/11. I used my GI bill to cover about half of flight school/college and worked in the Gulf of Mexico oil fields to earn the money to finish the other half. I have worked for flight schools, airlines, and charter companies and this has allowed me to see a large portion of this side of the hemisphere. I lay awake at night now wondering what the future holds for America and what kind of a country my children will grow up in and inherit. As I hear all sides scream and holler about how bad America is I think back to our founding. I know the United States is an exceptional country. Part of that is due to our founding as a staunch individualistic constitutional republic, and our deep moral belief/ grounding in Christian tenants. As we now stray further and further away from our founding beliefs and tenants, I see possible ruin approaching. I hypothesize one of the following happening to America: 1: An event of such magnitude happens that our society performs a 180 and returns to our founding values. 2: A class divide continues where there is a small percentage of the wealthy ruling class that controls government and industry. There is no middle class, just poor and rich. Authoritative despotism rules. 3: We vote our way into socialism, that ultimately will devolve into communism. 4: We have some form of secession or civil war in which the country degrades into war and then ultimately forms individual countries (think the Balkanization). All 4 of those scenarios scare me fiercely, especially my children’s future here. So, what are your thoughts? Tell me what I am missing? Where do you see us going from here? Thank you for your replies, I look forward to reading them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
