Today, we enjoy a much higher quality of life. Understanding what the future holds for America is essential if we care about our posterity and our country. There are indicators that can give us a glimpse of what the future will probably look like. We focus our attention on data, compiled in 1996, regarding crime , education , environment , and the economy within the United States. As we review these indicators or facts in these areas we discover that America's future is not optimistic.
Optimism is important - but so is realism.
We have problems. However, all that matters is doing what needs to be done to solve the problems. Understanding is a first step and this publication helps to serve that purpose. True comprehension may enable us to see and feel the reality of what will happen if drastic change does not begin. This understanding must be powerful enough that it awakens us from the deep slumber so persuasive throughout America.
