Hi V K.
I read the Robin of Berkeley’s blog and there’s certain a ring of truth to what’s said there.
Only a few minutes away is Silicon Valley where live some of the smartest people in the world. So you can say Berkeley contains some of the best and worst. They are definitely about breaking conventions and thinking outside the box.
My daughter is 29 and has seen a lot of the world. I trust she will make the right decisions.
I think she’s in the 10% who can be converted to MAGA. She’s very spiritually oriented, is a natural leader of others, and is a real doer. And she recognizes the imbalance in what academia has been teaching.
So from small cracks, larger ruptures can occur in the Ivory Tower’s foundation. We shall see.
I think the biggest factor working for us is the strength of the MAGA movement. The more it succeeds and the more water travels under the bridge, the stronger it will become and the Far Left will be forced to fold its tents because people have adapted to new realities are forced to become more self-Reliant.
But in later generations, the Progressive will raise its ugly head again because people forget history and the march of corruption must always be checked in Democracies.
History, not only are people prone to forget, TPTB often completely rewrite it. For instance - graduated from public school in 1965, and had never heard the true story of Thanksgiving. At least, at no time that I remember. Classrooms heard the version of how the Natives helped, the fact we gave thanks to them. Yet, at this time, we were still able to say the Lord’s prayer, in classroom,as a group. One day the teacher even wrote the entire prayer on the chalkboard so EVERY STUDENT would know the words used. Given today’s climate, she would have been kicked out of the building on her keister. So which was the greater force causing history to be rewritten? Liberals wishing to distance the country from GOD; Liberals unwilling to admit their doctrine failed centuries ago, and capitalism endured to advance our history?
Seldom traveled to California. Family drove out when I was very young (able to appreciate Disneyland) Beautiful country and sandy beaches. Expensive even way back then. San Fran was visited, Fisherman’s Wharf. The cable cars Just about all I remember re Ca.
The drive along the ocean highway all the way northward into Washington and then turn eastward toward North Dakota/Minnesota. The northbound drive was endowed with lovely scenic views. And the waterfalls were abundant. About 40 years ago flew to LA on business. This was the last the state was ever visited. If there is anything to fondly remember from childhood, it’s the fact that every year the family went on summer vacation, packed the car and drove, and America was our camp ground. So many states and friendly faces seen. Thus, my love for this great nation.
