Synopsis

Civilizations of the world are in a new phase of an ongoing cultural meltdown and America is leading the pack. A revolution typically begins with a relatively few people and grows as others identify with the ideals, moving toward certain ideals or goals. Like a cancer it spreads unless and until there is intervention. As an example, the cultural upheaval of the 1950s and 1960s beginning with Elvis cracking the walls of convention is addressed in this book. However this current phenomenon is very different because it has no direction, no identifiable goals. There is currently a free-wheeling-anything-goes mentality raging throughout a large segment of the population in America and the world seemingly based on nothing more than how disrespectful, how weird, how physically ugly, how vulgar, how offensive, how irresponsible and ignorant can each individual be, and how much can each get away with? It strives to obtain nothing positive. Coupled with this are generations of Americans who expect everything and contribute nothing. Throw drug and alcohol abuse into the mix and we have an attack from within that is shaking the foundations of America. This has nothing to do with race, it crosses all boundaries. It is a cultural problem. America is under multiple attacks from outside. But possibly the greatest threat is the disintegration from within. How many more blows can America withstand? America is not going to fall off of the face of the earth, but will you want to live in a second or third rate America, or an America under the financial or military control of a foreign power? This book suggests some possible ways and reasons for offenders who are weakening America to straighten up and fly right! Without intervention it is my opinion that America is headed for a fall

About this title

About the Author:

Ray Douglas is alternately a businessman and a musician/ singer/entertainer having spent years doing both, sometimes simultaneously , sometimes separately. Both professions have brought him into close contact and relationships with many people. Sooner or later in most serious conversations the subject of the many problems facing the United States is brought up and discussed. Inevitably people ask each other for or give their opinions on the subjects that are discussed.Naturally the opinions are wide and varied, but one stands out in virtually every conversation. People unanimously believe that the United States is headed for trouble beyond the usual politics, taxes, etc., etc.. One man put it bluntly, America is headed for a fall.There is deep concern on many subjects; exportation of jobs, immigration problems, foreign military actions, nukes, Social Security going broke as the Baby Boomers reach retirement age to give a few examples. But there is one big overriding subject that is talked about in hushed guarded tones. It is the downward cultural spiral linked to the drug addiction and substance abuse problems in the United States and world wide. People are aware that it is raging out of control and realize that something must be done. But how?Ray Douglas believes that it is probable that a slim majority of the American people are not actively a part of the problem. Most are contributing, however, by being passive and not taking a stand or speaking out when they observe problems. He admits to being one hundred percent guilty of this, this is his attempt to make a difference. He salutes those who have worked and sacrificed to keep America strong and on the right track. These people are excluded from the criticisms in the book.With years to observe and think about it, Ray Douglas decided to ask one final question at or near the end of such conversations. Is America headed for a fall? The answer is virtually always the same, a resounding yes.The result of these countle
