Slowly but surely the virtues and values we once celebrated—responsibility, resilience, dignity, respect—have been abandoned. Our work ethic has been replaced by an entitlement ethic. And as we lose the cultural traits that brought us to our leadership position, America's standing in the world will surely fall as well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut there \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e good news, say David and Andrea R.
