"I think both examples are symptomatic of the decay in American society."

I don't think there is all that much decay in society as a whole. There is a lot of decay in those who style themselves as the ruling class. But that is because they have gotten to the point of power being an end to itself. Most Americans saw this a long time ago. Which is why voter participation has declined so much. Sadly, that wasn't the best choice. Because it ceded power to the margins.

Which is why I see the slide to fascism to be inevitable. RAH called it right. Not in detail, but in general. Nehemiah Scudder, or his analog, will rule. For a while.
