23. Decadence: Rome had bread and circuses. America's descent into a mindless stupor, historian Niall Ferguson argues, can be seen in the popularity of pornography and NASCAR.

Most Southern boys raised in the backwoods of Alabama were bred for end day war.  Songs like a country boy can survive give fodder for the movement.
