We have stopped caring as a nation . We all say Yeah somebody should do something about that . No new towers or project to show the world that we are a strong nation . We have dozens of city's in ruins still on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico . We know that the insurance companies are in court with thousands and thousands of policy holders still trying to get out of paying . Yet they settled with several Government contractors at ship yards in the region within weeks to the tune of a few billion . Those workers at those yards working for uncle sam have been able to put their lives back in some order . But many have not and are fighting insurers to this day .
We lost site of the individual in the fight and if one man is right then all of them are . Justice it seems must be bought . Fair treatment must be bought . And we no that our elected officials are bought by campaign contributors . They operate without a conscience and more and more so do we . Our conscience is gone .

Playtoofast, son of Adam, who believes in the demigod Lucifer, the conscience you speak of is but dormant. It must be awakened in each generation of mankind. It takes times of strife and voices such as yours to spark its awareness.
When this consciousness awakens, wondrous events will unfold.

Bush wanted to travel to mars. That would have been a great tower of achievement. Instead, billions when to war.
The USA seems to be in gridlock anymore. Conversion to clean energy would have been nice, as would any other number of things. Many have been proposed. All have been shot down by the opposing party as either too liberal or too conservative.
What it comes down to is the fact that the country has lacked true leadership since Ike was in office. When will we elect a leader and not a party boss as president?

Our social conscience is bigger than ever, to the point that it will bring us down as a nation.
Look at the welfare system, it is paying able bodied people to sit on the couch and expect the gov to support them.
Look at the immigration problem, law after law has been deemed unconstitutional when it comes to identifying illegals.
Look at New Orleans. This country has bent over backwards to comfort those people, again that expected it, whether it was a gov paid debit card or tax breaks.

Social conscience, my a*s! I didn't adopt any Louisianans, and no intention of doing so. Anyone dumb enough to live under sea level can rebuild his own house.
