There has been a long march through the institutions of a nameless and shapeless ideology, misleadingly called political correctness. It is far more important and powerful than that name suggests and it is largely responsible for the long decay of the institutions and has contributed a lot, indirectly, to the decadence I'm talking about.
Some interesting parallels here tho' we are not so far gone (yet). However, I'm basically very optimistic for us tho' there's work to be done here too.
Hillary's been reading the tea leaves. Pretty soon, she'll come out against mindless political correctness and multiculturalism, wink, wink. (It Takes a Village will still remain a classic, however.) We'll hear more about her attempt to join the Marines in diapers as she beats the drums for more money for security at home. At least around her house in Chappaqua.
Pshaw! We had the same glimmer of hope post 9/11 that the world would finally come to it's senses... and it did... for, what? 3 months maybe? The only hope the UK has of maintaining this post-bombing glow of re-discovering themselves, their national pride, etc. is if the whackos continue to bomb every couple of weeks (IMHO).
