A Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I rail a lot about the inadequacy of modern day America.  America is adequate for a few things.  We are adequate for imperialism.  We want Afghani poppies, and so we have them.  We are adequate for logistical transport.  We need a way to ship Afghani poppies, so we use our well-prepared fighting force.  We are adequate for bullying.  Instead of leaving the Middle East the way ISIS and ISIL desire, we linger collecting their poppies.  It seems collecting the poppies is far easier than tapping the massive oil reserve in Iraq, a nation we destroyed when creating ISIS and ISIL.  Still the price of oil has plummeted without harvesting that Iraqi oil.  Now ISIS and ISIL must have it.  Usually they sell it to France and Russia.  We are adequate for harboring fugitives, not illegal immigrants, but legal law-breaking corporations who out-source our American jobs abroad, launder money in Grand Cayman banks, and do what exactly in America?  They sell us their backassward, unregulated, crap products at an inflated rate compared to our wages.  Then they lobby Washington, so they can continue to lie about what is in these products.  We are adequate for stealing land from native populaces like poor African-Americans living in the Ninth Ward in post-Katrina New Orleans.  (Those elderly black people have no business with that real estate anyway)  Trumpism.  We as America are adequate for the useless and wasteful driving of automobiles instead of utilizing mass transportation as say Europe does.  It would seem America is a nation of excess, excess for the rich.  At one point in history these rich perceived a need to reinvest in us.  This is what creates an economy.  Pouring money back into goods and services, filling the pockets of Americans, and creating a burgeoning healthy economy is good for America.  Instead now we strangle Americans like the poor immigrants we are.  We are not adequate for medical care.  It is more cost effective, honest, and empathetic almost anywhere else in the world that is not a third world country.  It would seem these other countries never have been "superpowers" and therefore do not have a wasteful and selfish model to base themselves upon after obliterating every conceivable trace of the Christian religion and the presence of God.  We are adequate for producing cheap natural gas and polluting our ground water source at the same time.  While this may not be an issue now, it will be presently.  When God returns to earth and retrieves saved Christians to transplant to His other earth-like planet we may all ready have discovered, and when the oceans boil and fire reigns down from the skies potable water will become an issue.  It should be now, and the solution is not to buy it from Nestle or Pepsico.  We have become adequate at selling our once free and clean drinking water, breathing air, and comforting silence back to us.  Now we must pay for it, and the status quo of the common existence for Americans is poverty, violence, and thus murder.  No longer can we feel good from just our environment.  It has become so polluted, the playing field of the American Dream has been tilted at forty-five degrees allowing Republicans to litigate the minutia of political and economic control.  They are good at splitting legal hairs on a bought and paid for table.  When I think about the current Condition of America in America today, I can devise no model except utter selfishness.  It's a bitch being alone.
