Right now, we're in a "throw the bums out" mode every few years thinking politics are going to save us, when the root of our problems are the fundamentals.
Education, as you point out, is one. You also touch devolution of the legal system, clergy etc. The family is breaking down, the financial system, free markets, our collective moral ethos (mainly religion/Christianity), state and individual rights, property rights manufacturing and culling natural resources.
We're killing our offspring wholesale, while men are attempting to mimic reproduction with each others bungholes. Society and our collective media cheers it all on.
All of the traditions and institutions that made us great and prosperous have become horribly mutated.
Elections aren't going to solve it. Not sure if there is a solution at this point. The downward spiral might be irreversible.
I agree. I was trying to discuss the Supreme Court decision with some youngsters—college educated Obama voters. They dismissed everything I said as “Faux News propaganda” and said they didn’t want to talk about. I could only ask if critical thinking skills are still being taught at the university level...they gave me blank looks.
Make public education illegal and if total collapse into a one world communist government can be avoided it might be possible to return to where we were 60 years ago!!!
We saw what we have today 50 years ago and made the decision to not have childern that would have to live through it.
Only conservatives fighting have we been able to delay what we have today by probably 20-25 years.
We haven’t been able to stop one thing, only delay the total demise.
