Why are people being dumbed down?

[SmartAZ]

It is called cultural collapse. All cultures eventually collapse, all in the same general manner and for the same general reasons. Symptoms in the USA have been apparent since WW2. Symptoms of impending collapse include basic service jobs taken over by immigrants; increasing welfare rolls; national defense given to mercenaries because citizens refuse to serve; debunking of national heroes and admiration of slobs instead; rejection of the dominant religion, morals, and all standards of excellence, first noticed in arts and then in all activities. The trigger for the final collapse is always random, and always something that a healthy society could have handled.
