It's too late to turn the tide. The country is lost.
Idiocy is in, just look at popular culture.
The government is hopelessly broken, infrastructure shot, and China is waging a successful economic war with the rest of the world.
We (collectively in the world) fucked up the environment so much that the horrendous results, played out almost daily, are now irreversible.
Back in the USA, we have a moronic feeble Senator traipsing around the world looking for a war, any war, as long as he's not in it.
The economy is so broke that recovery is only detectable in reports now. Jobs and good wages may be lost forever for most working Americans.
We imprison virtually everyone we can. You, me, the cat, the guy next door. Everyone in 2013 America is subject to arrest.
Your examples will be compounded by more idiocy tomorrow and the days after.
Work if you can, try to get to retirement in some form, stay focused on whatever makes you happy (as long it's not smoking pot since that's yet another felony)
The rest? Let it go. You can't and won't win. This isn't the America of the free and the brave anymore. This isn't power to the people.
It's come down to "belief" now - perfect for a country of puritans and zealots.
