Okay, 50% fighting 50% is probably wrong.

Maybe this forum isn't a good place to judge the future of the whole country either.

I agree that this is a major threat to our country.
That would help.

This would be like if a doctor called you up and told you your father died today.

Person: "But how do I know he is really dead?"

Doctor: "I'll send you a death certificate. That thing that generally speaking says that a member of the medical community attests that all heart and brain activity have ceased."

Person: "But, you have a lot of money right? And I hear a few doctors have made mistakes. So, I'll assume you made a mistake"

Doctor: "Huh? Listen, I can send you the cardiogram of your father. His heart stopped at 12:31am and there were four witnesses in the room to declare the time of death."

Person: "I read on an internet forum that those cardiographs can be faulty"

Doctor" "I've been doing this for years. This isn't the first time someone has passed away and I had to declare death officially, so I really..."

Person: "Ah ha! You've killed millions of people! And my father! I will sue you!"

Society has been breaking down since the 1960s. In large part due to fascist/socialist teachings at grammar schools, highschools and colleges.

Traditional families and common values-religious and otherwise-have largely disintegrated. The result - material greed, extreme selfishness, lack of morals and ethics and non stop creation and focus on special interest groups.

The powerful love this because while they create all this turmoil they rake in the power and dollars at the top.
