Ebola Isn't What We Should Fear. Loss Of Faith In America's Institutions Is The Great Fear

"Future Generations Will Despise Ronald Reagan. Here's Why"

***

Ebola itself isn't what you should be concerned about. "The nation has lost faith in virtually every American institution: banks, schools, colleges, charities, unions, police departments, organized religion, big businesses, small businesses and, of course, politics and government....In short, the United States faces crises of leadership and trust. Which, to me, is the scariest thing about the Ebola outbreak. I'm far less worried about the disease striking me or my loved ones than I am about what this incident says about the nation's ability to survive a true cataclysm. Whether the next existential event is Ebola or ISIS or any of the countless 21st-century horrors, we are only as strong as our institutions — and our trust in them." Ron Fournier in National Journal
