If you really think this degradation of civil society in America is all because of a few certain people I don't think you've been paying attention.
There is a big BIG number of people out there, 64,385,746 of whom took the time to vote for Barack Obama who send a clear message every day that says, "If you don't like the law ignore it." It is an example burned in the mantra of hip hop music. It is taught in schools and colleges and it is perpetuated by a significant number of the elected officials making headlines everyday.
Our attorney general gives passes to law breakers based on color. Our President tells ethnic voters they are in a war ...and bring your gun to the knife fight. This stuff isn't just a few certain people and it ain't going away.
NOT BY A LONG SHOT!
The original post was talking about having past the point of no return, not the general degradation of society.
Having past the point of no return is a big deal, and the poster was attributing it to these events which do involve a few certain people.
