I hear this, but I don't know how you analyze this without the disconnect from community. Having seen the community I grew up in dissolve (along with all the bonds, responsibilities and joys that went with it) as people spread out around the country for a better economic life. Maybe this is covered in the book (I haven't seen it for sale over here and it's really expensive to ship crap here), but it's the first thing that comes to mind when I think about "what happened to America."
