Where is the world into which I was born? Two princes? I'm gonna puke.

It started to die in the mid to late 60's when spoiled,narcissistic,drug addled punks from New York,California and...yes,Massachusetts...decided that the rules just didn't apply to them.

As much respect and gratitude as I have for/toward the "Greatest Generation",their one great failure was that so many of them raised punks like this and that so many of them failed to stand up to those punks.

Two major flaws of the World War II generation are that they were enamored of big government, having been children of the Great Depression, which was popularly blamed on the laissez faire economics of Hoover (who really was an early version of a RINO) and that they paid too much respect to self-appointed experts. Most of the big spending programs and environmental regulations that plague us today were passed when the veterans of the war against Germany and Japan dominated Congress, in the 1960s and 1970s. Likewise, too many of the World War II generation paid attention to numerous leftists from academia like Benjamin Spock and Alfred Kinsey, who were the forerunners of permissiveness and the so-called sexual revolution. Don't forget that Timothy Leary, the popularizer of the hippie lifestyle, was a World War II veteran. Herbert Marcuse, the philosophical leader of the New Left, served in the OSS during World War II.
