[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 1857536, member: 24459"] Byrd, You need a history lesson. The "in god we trust" argument is a very weak argument, and your logic flawed. If you could skip back a few hundred years, "in god we trust" wouldnt be on money or buildings. That didnt happen until the 1950's under Eisenhower. I do understand the point your trying to get across, that our values have changed over the years. That the path were on will lead to the degrading of the U.S. Theres a term for what your saying. Its called Cultural/Social Evolution. Societies evolve its a fact. Christian ideals evolve, conservative ideals evolve, liberal ideals evolve. Even the founders ideals evolved. Generally speaking, you will either evolve or change with the times, or you wont. Somewhere along the way youve got the Idea, that we have drasticly evolved or forced change down your throat. When in fact, its a natural progression your witnessing, during your lifetime. So to answer your question as to whats wrong with America. Its that a few people, have to drag alot of people, who are kicking and screaming, along Americas journey forward.:P [/QUOTE]
