...”I see little nonsense in this article. He seems to guage the changes in our society fairly accurately. The young are increasingly libertarian in their outlook with significant cohorts who are, either leftist or socially conservative at he edges. It’s the middle that decides elections and that seems to be more and more “live-and-let-live” libertarian”...

It is a hopelessness..The late Dr. Francis Shaeffer, in Vol. 1 of his Christian View of Philosophy and Culture, states on p. 321..”Weep for our generation! Man, made in the image of God and intended to be in vertical communication with the One who is there and who is not silent, and meant to have communication with his own kind, because of his proud rationalism, making himself autonomous, has come to this place. I would end this chapter with a quotation from “Satyricon” by Fellini. Toward the end of the film a man looks down at his friend who is dying a ridiculous death, an absolutely absurd death. With all his hopes, he has come to a completely absurd end. Modern man, made in the image of God and meant to be in communication with God and then with his kind, has come to this place of horrible silence. In the film Fellini has the voice say, ‘Oh, God, how far he lies from his destination now.’ There was never a truer word!”
