Yep, a nation of dopers, just like before 1934.
Well, yeah, before 1934 you had an American populace buoyed by strong family/social institutions, and guided by strong moral/religious principles. I’d put up a lot of faith and trust in “that” populace to handle scourges.
I would not accord the same to America-2014, with its government-dependent serfs, moral deviants, feral underclass, and self-absorbed dope-craving scum.
