Downfall of the American nation and their values.

Sadly, we are presently assisting to the downfall of the American values, people are also less educated ( and by that I don't only think about school but about being inquiring). Our good folks don't think about having families, they're thinking about pornstars , possessions and status. People don't think about respect but about empowerment. The values are going down. Were not going to church for the right reason: we don't understand what we believe in anymore. The worst example is when a military man is talking about God: how can you kill people (surely bad people, the president and tv are saying so) and be a good Christian. If those people would have asked themselves the right question, they would understand that the army is the tool of the government to gain power over other countries and not the tool to enforce peace and justice through force. The nation is not thinking but acting based on programming acquired via different medias. The people who control the medias are using those as a remote control for masses. People are easily predictable. The aveage American is thinking: "If TV says it, it must be true" when the real question is" why, in who's benefit, what is the real goal, what do I gain?" People have lost their critic mind. They don't inquire anymore. The basis of education is to have an inquiring mind. You don't necessary need to go to university to learn, you just need to be curious and try to continuously learn through experiences. So you combine people without principle, without an inquiring mind and feed them with a lot of entertainment. Aren't we becoming like those "cocooned" humans that machines are getting energy from in "The matrix" except that the establishment is replacing the machines? The real questions are much easier: what favor life? What do we need to be healthy as human beings, as a nation. Presently, we're very sick because we stopped thinking by ourselves. Which bring me to think that the lack of values and education will be the down fall of America.
