America Has Been Set Ablaze!!!

Is America's current state of decay intentional?  Absolutely!  If human progress is natural, how is it that the greatest nation ever created, where Man was set on a path to be free of government restraints to choose his and her own life are we regressing and seemingly seeking more government intervention into our lives?  How is it that many of us have made choices that have brought us to this point and time?  How can we change our direction?
