<s>[INST] It seems that in most cases the Roe vs Wade decision will be remembered as a watershed moment that marked the beginning of the end of American greatness.  In my lifetime, I have seen the US fall from global prominence as the greatest nation in the world.  I am concerned that the current trajectory of the country suggests it will eventually become a second-rate nation.  I believe that the slew of Supreme Court decisions from the 60s and 70s regarding personal freedoms had a profound impact on this trajectory.
You seem to have identified something that has gone awry.  I think part of the problem is our society's emphasis on individualism and personal freedoms. Don't get me wrong,  I am a proponent of freedom, but I think we may have swung the pendulum too far in that direction and we are sacrificing some essential collective aspects of society and our national identity.

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this matter.  May I request that you keep you response at or below 250 words?[/INST]
