I think that blind trust that we've seen for so long will fade in this generation. There is a whole population of young people right now (NOT the ones who are on television protesting and squawking) who have already figured out that they don't have to use or respect the world that was handed to them. It might be awkward to watch, but they will have to invent something besides a central gov, and it should be interesting to see what they come up with.
