Peleliu. One of the war's grand screwups, of the "Is this operation really necessary?" variety. Another one was Wewak, in New Guinea.
The Sopranos depicted modern American suburbia like no other show I’ve ever seen! Breathtaking in its portrayal of Jersey culture and life. I think I’ll check it out again rather than order this book, LOL.
Later on, about 45 years after DNA was discovered someone came up with the phenomenon known as epigenetics.
Here's an article that takes you to the second issue of the Journal of Epigenetics in 2006. http://www.epigeneticsnews.com/the-history-of-epigenetics-explored/
We no longer descend into Lysenkoism ~ we advance our knowledge of epigenetics.
BTW, the divorced Catholics are over at the Baptist church ~ it's still working.
Uh, no. That’s not my experience with working class Catholic churches in either Belmont or Fishtown. There are good and bad people in all churches and there are some excellent Catholic churches and foolish ones. Happily, I know nothing about the Baptists.
Reverting to Social Darwinism to explain the inevitable fallout of trade policy and pernicious liberal social policy might impress someone who fancies himself to be a beneficiary of such. Everybody else sees the seeds of destruction being sown in our country. Everyone can’t be above average. There are all sorts, and gainful employment is a necessity for them all. That, we no longer have. Surprise! Those on the lower rungs are sliding into despondency.
Duh.
I’m glad I grew up in Belmont.
In the NYC areas the Fishtown areas’ white populations are disappearing through relocation, to the Carolinas, Florida, and other sun belt states. Murray explains the population decline, lack of stable families, lack of marriage, lack of offspring, lack of home ownership due to financial difficulties. Add in the 1960’s immigration policy changes and there hasn’t been much new European immigration to bulk up the Fishtown populations for 50 years. New Jersey didn’t create a single net net job from 2000 to 2010, New York only added jobs net net by increasing government workers, now NY is slashing the gov payrolls. Connecticut now has the highest property taxes in the country, after having nearly the lowest in 1990.
After 2 or 3 generations of declining living standards in NYC metro Fishtowns, you’ll find freepers from the South constantly complaining about liberal Northeasterners moving down South and then voting like liberal Northeasterners.
The collapse of the US Dollar and US Treasury Notes is about the only way we’ll encounter the scenario possibility for some sort of awakening in this country.
Many are moving south, moving to Pennsylvania, or just not reproducing.
Actually, most of the working class Catholic Churches in Jersey or the outer boroughs are closing/consolidated or filled with value hairs. The white proletariat/lumpen proletariat just isn’t reproducing in the northeast.

Great graphic.
Or, it could be that, as with muscle, regular use and exercise hones abilities.
Actually the “Fishtown” Churches have been consolidating/closing for some time, and are disproportionately dominated by the elderly as downscale whites up here either don’t reproduce or relocate to cheaper parts of the country with a greater need of unskilled/semiskilled labor.
Not true in my neighborhood.
This is why unFree Trade and off-shoring are killing us. THERE HAS TO BE MANUFACTURING WORK FOR THE < 100 IQ crowd to do. EIther pay them to manufacture or pay them welfare or have a class war spurred on by the Demagogic Party. You pick. Tariffs or socialism that is the choice, I don’t like but that’s where we are.
Statistically true nationwide and in most of the NY metro area. The old blue collar white townie culture has been disappearing for some time, and anecdotal observations from your neighborhood mean nothing in the face of statistics and a mere drive through the former strongholds of lower class white-dom.
Clemenza, although you and I live in the same area, we do seem to always live on different planets. Let’s just drop it.
Why not just pay them NOT to have children.
