1. For many reasons, between the years 1920 and about 1950 fascinate me. The culture and the ways of thinking are interestingly different, almost as if all the events took place in a different country. Battles within and without, whether for money (or lack thereof) or for human life and freedom were handled in a way that probably wouldn't happen today. Things that happened then could very well repeat themselves in the future, more realistically for monetary reasons then anything else, and because something like the Great Depression happened we already know what will work and what won't if we should ever face such a crisis as that again.

3. I think money and the want for "the good life" is the main thing that America's building itself on, not only now but in the past as well. Greediness, Jealousy, and Acting as if I'm the Only One in the World That Needs to Be Taken Care Of is not a Biblical approach to life, but unfortunately I'm nearly surprised when I see someone who doesn't follow these rules.

No matter the year, there will always be someone following the "rules" and "guidelines" of America.
4. The greatest threat to America in realistic terms would be something so simple as "following the crowd." Eventually, only one will run this crowd, and of course, the crowd will follow. If the person who's in control isn't controlling with a Biblical perspective, then Christians will be persecuted if they don't agree or follow.
America's becoming so self-centered that in the future it's possible that we will no longer care about what's happening to people outside of our "great" nation, or even for those inside who are deemed to be an "outsider." If that should happen, it wouldn't be all too hard to overtake us, and America will be no more. No offense to our future president, but it would appear that he has little or no military experience, so something like America being taken over is possible. We have made so many enemies over the years, and I doubt that all those who we call friend are deep and true friends, more like those who are friends for the time being because it's convenient. If America's as prosperous as we all brag, then it will take the truest friends to not jump on the chance to have a part in bringing us down and taking our property and things of economic value.
5. The way I see it, there's no possible way for a country to stay exactly the same for decades upon decades. Different leaders are brought in and out of office,
