Duties of the citizens, continued

And by not applying that critical thinking and putting the well being of the country before anything else, before our personal agenda, our prejudices, our beliefs, our phobias, we do not do the job of taking good care of our country. 
This concept that our founding fathers gave us is fragile.  It must be safeguarded.  It can fail at any time.  It is a huge experiment and has worked fairly well up to now.  We had a lot of bumps, we have a nasty history regarding slavery and the slaughter of the Native American, but on a whole we have been evolving and improving.  We are not evolving and improving anymore and we have not been for 50 years.  And if the citizens do not realize their responsibility and step up and take care of this fragile form of government, we will lose it.  We are the greatest country in the world, but we are quickly losing that status.  We have horrible healthcare,  we have broken schools, we are at each other's throats, we push our own pea brained agenda and screw the other person if they do not support what I support.  We have become a nation of selfish, whining, brats.  We will sink as a nation of selfish, whining brats unless we wake the hell up and I don't see it happening.  We once led the world.  Now the world is wondering what in the hell happened to us.  I am wondering that too.
