The creation of wealth by our Grandfathers and Fathers has made us lazy and trivial. Look at popular “culture.” Look who was elected President TWICE!
It wasn’t wealth, it was something I can’t quite put my finger on. As for electing Obama, you’re right about that. I do think that this present misery is our penance for so many things, not just because we elected Obama. Electing Obama was the culmination of so much.
