All just a passing fad.
I grew up for the first 7 years without these unneeded luxuries.
No big deal.
Thanks for posting that link. Perfect.
Excellent, thanks Kart. The example of Jews in Germany may be the best. The warning signs were EVERYWHERE for them, but since nothing like the holocaust had ever happened, the Jews figured it was all bluster.
That’s why words mean things (as Rush always says), and you ignore them at your own peril. When I was in college, during the Cold War, I would read what the left published and go to their lectures. They weren’t talking about equal pay for women, the minimum wage, or contraceptive coverage - they were talking about revolution in the United States, violent revolution. Most people in college giggled at them and were more busy with classes. But they wanted their revolution...and the only thing that stopped them was the inability to whip up the country enough. Now they are today’s generation of Democrats - but NOTHING has changed inside their hearts, they are still very dangerous people, if they ever get the means to act on it.
