How does the "Family of Mankind/Women Kind Disintegrate?" Look at America in 2005.
l. Your remains will likely not be buried or if cremated "spread" near to any of your relatives.
2. If the UPS/FedEx driver asks if you can take a package for your neighbor...you might not know your "neighbor" well enough to accept the package.
3. If your Wife/Husband/Child had an emergency you call "911" in the middle of the night rather than a relative, friend or neighbor to help you. It's "cleaner that way." You don't have to disturb anyone.
4. If you have an illness that you are going to die from...you immediately contact your local "Hospice Association" because you know that without family, friends or relatives close by you won't be able to cope and so you need the resources of an "impartial group" to help you through what no one else can do. (Therefore...the rise of wonderful Hospice Groups who "fill in" for what American Society and Families spread out over long distances, can no longer provide.)
5. If you company is downsized, merged or just thrown out of business for whatever reason, you never tell anyone for fear that they will see you as a "slacker" in the system...so you hide what happened and "re-finance your mortgage" or use your "credit card" to the max. You carry on as if nothing as happened because you feel ashamed, or you are confident that you will find new employment in time enough that your neighbors, relatives and friends won't find out about it.
6. Your kids are learning in "modular housing" and local Boards of Education are constantly looking for and finding ways to cut costs "per pupil" so that teachers and the facilities they teach in are no better off than "third world," countries. Teachers and Academics have little respect, make very little money and folks are always complaining about their asking for a "living wage." Some even feel they are paid too much and their "ideology is suspect."
7. There's so much more about vacant/empty America....I could go on...but those are my main points...:-(
