Is this Country falling apart?

I feel like the country's falling apart at the seams - literally. We're in the middle of a drought here in Atlanta - you're only allowed to water your lawns on certain days, and big fines are imposed if it's done at the wrong hour, etc... Yesterday, as I was driving down Ponce de Leon, I came upon a torrent of water rushing down the inside lane. It went on for about 3 miles. Another water main break. That's the third one. A few hours later, I had to run to the store, and the water was STILL rushing down that lane. What the Hell? Shouldn't that be considered an emergency during a drought? Today, I came across yet another water main break with water rushing down Piedmont Avenue. In Dekalb county (the next county over where they also are in drought conditions) they had one last week. It took a week to fix the one in Dekalb. Have we become so incompetent in this country that we can't fix a goddamned LEAK? And what the Hell is up with all the blackouts everywhere? Man, we are surely going down the tubes.
