For every passing year that comparison will convince more people,

Patrick:
It is already there. A cult of unbridled freedom uninhibited by
responsibility has soured both private and public life.
So many have been miseducated that the nature of America's problems is
hardly understood by the general public. As a consequence, the greedy have
an easy time twisting any issue to suit their selfish aims and hunger for
greater profit.
America is a dead man walking.
