Keep trying for your RN...this I do know...the Boomers will have not left this a better country...what Gen X and beyond does is anyones guess....our generation will also have to rebuild our Churchs - if we even have that capacity....what I do resent is Boomers referring to Gen Xers as slackers...not all boomers were hippies or draft dodgers..there are a lot of good ones but in the end the conservative boomers lost the culture war and that will be our ultimate undoing as a nation...
Publius, that’s unfortunately true. I have quite a few friends my parents’ age, and they openly admit the baby boomer generation really did this nation in, when they went totally “counter-culture” on everyone. I also think some people in the 1920’s kind of got that trend started, as many people of that time were pushing the boundaries on morality. Plus, socialism was getting a good deal of interest from several of our politicians at that time. When they realized they couldn’t ram socialism through our government so fast, they went for the academic institutions, to change the minds of successive generations. It worked. It has only gotten worse from there. I hope to see more of my generation wake up and get a clue, but I don’t expect that will happen without a major shaking: something akin to 09/11 but worse. Maybe if our economy totally collapses, that might wake a few people up......maybe.
