OK OZ,

I'll try to understand where I'm wrong, A culture in decline is a
Culture that people would be trying to get away from? People would go
other places rather than be involved with this Culture? Illegal
immigration wouldn't be a problem for a declining Culture, right? A
declining Culture is one where foreign aid would be necessary, right? A
culture in decline wouldn't be able to provide aid to other countries
and wouldn't be able to import from others? A declining Culture
certainly wouldn't be a market area, would it?

Oz a declining Culture would have a bunch of dumb asses like me, who
weren't aware of their decline. Please enlighten me with the facts of
our overall decline?
