The Fall of the American Empire?

Some say that Rome lulled her citizens into a sense of complacency with humiliating entertainment?
Today, how many people can name more Reality TV stars than their local representatives, new laws or even the names of their own children's teachers or friends?

I would say that above all else, this has done more to dull our senses and lull us into complasency.
How many "Minutemen" know pop culture, sports, tv, etc. and spend time on the couch compared to how many migrant workers know or do the same?

Lazy isolationaists.
