Again you speak in generalities. You're trying to pin the depravity which this nation has descended on one singled out generation. Are the boomers you and Bruce Gibney are referring to, beneficiaries of old money? Believe it or not, I'm well read on the point you're making but you seem stuck on one generation in history.

Again you speak in generalities. You're trying to pin the depravity which this nation has descended on one singled out generation. Are the boomers you and Bruce Gibney are referring to, beneficiaries of old money? Believe it or not, I'm well read on the point you're making but you seem stuck on one generation in history. The actual decay started decades before, if you care to do the research. The Jekyll island group of the worlds richest individuals and the Fabian socialists set the stage for a great deal of what's happening today. In the 1930's Dr. Harold Rugg, a member of a group of socialist academics called the Frontier Thinkers, instituted a training program for school teachers of all grade levels. The curriculum was pure socialism bordering on communism rewriting American history and preaching class division. Sound familiar? The textbook writers and publishers fell in line. Fortunately, common sense of the day prevailed and it was soundly rejected, but not by all. The cancer was present, but had not yet metastasized. All the facts and figures you bring up are fine but don't address the roll of old money and corrupt politicians. Money buys politicians which influences favorable legislation which benefits the rich and powerful. That action didn't start in 1945, it has been going on for millennium. A great book on the underlying causes of today's chaos is, "None Dare Call It Treason" by Stormer. It was published in 1964 and was required reading in some high schools in the boomer 60's, imagine that. The hard back copy is cost prohibitive but paperback copies can be found. I feel it's a must read. Also another great read is, "The Long March" by Roger Kimball. It addresses the influence of the beat generation on societal issues of the day, brought to you by the previous generation. I'm sure there were plenty of individuals who wielded power who deserve your scorn and blame, but I contend they have existed through out time.
