And these things shift. The cultural values and morals of two or three generations ago are as foreign to me as the cultural values of many other nations. 

The things you are talking about are way too fluid. I can tell pretty easily that I don't have your common goals, or your ideas about what is proper morality or laws. You'd have to use force to keep me, and many many other Americans, in line with your concepts of how things are supposed to be. At that point can you say your method is any more natural or cohesive than another other method? It seems to me if you have to use increased force to keep your "cohesion" then your "cohesion" is rather brittle.

It is clear that the civilization we are a part of is currently in a state of cultural decline. We are too eager to cast away the values that we once had in favor of newfangled ways of seeing the world. This is exacerbated by the fact that, due to the inundation of America with unsavory characters, we are a nation that is at odds with itself in terms of demographics. The white man has different values than the black man, and the red man, and the yellow man, and the pink man, etc. Instead of trying to understand our differences and promote diverse connections between each other, we have smashed ourselves together and tried to work with the aftermath of the collision.
