I will repeat that in my lifetime I have witnessed...what I consider to be decline...in virtually every and all aspects one can think of or mention. You named a few...I will name a few more...political bipartisanship is virtually non existent...political intercourse is at an all time low...media bias is at an all time high...the economy has been in decline since the sixties...our military forces have been cut by more than half...the ills of society have increased since the fifties...education...divorce...crime...juvenile delinquency...the use of mind altering drugs...mental illness...suicides...homicides...etc. etc. etc. Bad laws...bad court decisions...bad foriegn policy...etc. etc. etc.
