Humor: Not enough fiber.
Serious: The United States was based on a frontier society with lots of land just over the next hill. For a bit Alaska sufficed to provide a frontier to those who wanted it (and lots did) and needed it.
Now, we're settling into the notion that the only frontiers we have to push are internal if you don't count war. Let's get every American moral just like us! Hey, get religion! Get into therapy! etc, etc ad nauseum.
Possible solution is to open up space. Export our Democratic Republic to new and interesting places and the best and brightest will move up and out.
Mars First! and ignorance & inbreeding take the hindmost.
