*** I think that, essentially, the "American Way" has been lost. America used to be an agrarian society. Then, after the industrial revolution, we became a powerhouse after bring brought out of the depression by WWI, in which we made weapons, weapons, weapons... I think the American Way includes a will, determination, and innovation that could be used for positive ends. Look at all of the inventions and what-not that came out of American history... however, I also believe it had to do with freedom and mistrust of the government. Americans seem increasingly more like sheeple than ever before these days. We surrendur our sanity to pop culture and our rights to various government agencies...and I think this leads to the hijacked government - an uneducated populace, an indifferent populace.
