THE QUIET STORM

For some time now we have been tracking various indicators about America
to test our thesis that American culture and economy is in a state of
disintegration. Since this data is posted on a spreadsheet that some
readers may find intimidating, we will be listing here from to time key
trends. Details can be found on our Indicators page. As always we
appreciate additions and corrections.
