What can we as a country do to ensure this isn't the end of our great civilization.

I saw an interesting question on a game show about a year ago. They asked a sample of Americans "what percentage of Americans think that the United States will no longer exist in 100 years?"

I was shocked to see that more than 50% of the people said they think we will NOT be around in 100 years.

I figure that has to be attributed to one of two things:

1. We fuck up so bad that we get wiped out.

2. The end of the world happens before the next 100 years are over.

I never really thought about that before. But I guess the possibility exists that this nation might not survive. I'm sure the Russians never thought their system of government would fail. The global map of nations is continually changing. Our country, economy and system of government is new relative to most of the world. I suppose there is a chance that we could find that we have been building a house of cards for the past 250 years and it could fall apart right before our eyes.
