NASHVILLE, Tennessee: The largest commercial hospital chain dumped its top management amid a federal Medicare fraud investigation that has seen FBI agents raiding its hospitals for financial records.

Such a mindset has set in, and as a result civic society has withered, and along with it, citizen satisfaction. Divorce rates, cheating on exams and tax fraud have all increased in the last 30 years, while charitable giving, community service and voter participation have all fallen. One-third of all Americans cannot name one of the five freedoms protected by the First Amendment. It's hard to believe there wasn't more responsibility--both personally and politically...
