Don't forget we have also had a very long period of strong economical growth and abundant jobs for all. When I try to get kids to realise the importance of education the answer is usually pffftt, my dad left school when he was 14 - 16 and we live in a big house with a pool, have 3 squillion cars, a boat ........ so why should I bother. As short sighted as it may seem they are right for the here and now. This has also led to totally egocentric behaviour in which any thought of national unity or the betterment of the collective are not even considered. Like the Romans before us, we are decaying into a spent force.
