Can a self-indulgent society be healthy in the long run?

No. It's not healthy. In fact, it's downright destructive. But try telling that to all of the self-absorbed, self -fulfilling creeps in our society today. In a world where morals are forgotten and even put down in the name of "political correctness", it's only a matter of time before we self-destruct. Which is really sad. If the forefathers of this nation could see us all today, America as we know it, how shocked and angered and ashamed they'd be. Not so sure I'm "proud to be an American" anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love this land and I'm proud of the founding fathers and all that America "used" to stand for, but I'm not proud of the immoral, self-absorbed, hateful, ungrateful people that seem to have taken over and poisoned the minds of America's youth. God help us all.
