The U.S. Government is working hard at turning America’s children into a bunch of freaks.
There is a bright side. Pretty much everything that happens in America is a generational thing. Thus, when we had the Cindy Sheehan "Peace Mom" stuff in the early 00's, it was grown up anti-war '60s kids that made that happen. Presently, everyone seems to be going crazy about sex stuff, which indicates the sex-drenched disco-era (Carter Administration) '70s group is in power. Next up -- thankfully -- are the '80s Ronald Reagan generation, and their hallmark is pretty much traditional values and a disdain for BS. As an observer of the social scene for a lonnnnnng time, I really do feel that the '70s influence is beginning to wane. I encounter more and more pragmatic former '80s kids daily, who exhibit healthy cynicism and a respect for America's traditions, which they see as under fire. This will be VERY interesting to watch over the next few years ...
