Though I grew up in a quaint, idyllic 80s American town, I was not the least bit uninformed about new social dilemmas like the introduction of crack cocaine and the AIDS epidemic into the American metropoli.
Political correctness was slowly being introduced in the once-hallowed halls of academia, butlikely thanks in large part to the threat of the Cold War Doomsday Clockit wasn't the nemesis which many proclaim it to be now.
In the 11th-hour-of-the-first-Cold-War America in which I was raised, the boisterously salient opinions of the ideological extremes of today did not exist.
It seemed that, despite our differences, we always found ways to work together back then.
What has changed?
Were our leaders simply better at reaching compromises, or was the picture somehow more complicated even then, just as it is today?

What is causing America to implode?
