I rather think the economic policies connected with maintaining several wars simultaneously, against world opinion, and concomitant paranoid security probably has more to do with any decline. Drop in a few cubes of extremely shortsighted slashing of your research and manufacturing base at the educational level to appease the superstitious lobby, add some corporate unaccountability then stir briskly and find cover before the explosion.
But by all means let's blame the wickedness of the general unwashed. Damn the masses and their rampant fornication (I hate it when they get more fun than I do), materialism (which as we all know has never been synonymous with anything American), celebrity idolisation (again, a foreign concept to any society), and Earth worshipping (how dare anyone want to clean up the thing we're all standing on and make sure it's still around for our descendants).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
