[Bernard Marx]

Time is fast approaching where true America history lives on only as an oral tradition passed parent to child.

My children, educated and brainwashed in the 60s and 70s, rejected anything I tried to tell them about America. They were only open to what they were told in school, in rock music, and from pop culture icons like Che Guevara, Jane Fonda and their like. Even today as adults they refuse to even listen to anything that smacks of non-60s dogma.

I often feel the "revolution" was fought and lost when the liberals -- no, the correct name is Marxists -- took control of education and thus our history. The truly sad part is my kids are instinctively conservative but feel they have to remain in lockstep solidarity their peer group even as adults.

Folks tend to find comfort in dogma - it orders their minds, but often at the cost of common sense, unfortunately.

On the bright side I imagine holidays around your place are more lively for it...
