I obtained a copy some 40 years ago, and skimmed through much of it. I never read it. I thought it'd be too depressing to read. But I still have it on a shelf.

But I saw this demographic displacement coming when I was in high school during the Carter years, even before I got that book. A couple of my high school friends were worried too. We talked about it.

But there was no internet. Nothing we could do. No way to organize. For information sources, all we had were magazines like National Review and Soldier of Fortune (which had some great classified ads for books). And we listened to Bob Grant on WOR-AM. He was prescient.

My father told me not to worry about it. I can't change these things, and besides, it'll probably work out. My family (all Republicans) thought that I was the far-right nut in the family, and that I would outgrow it.

But like Bob Grant, I too proved prescient.
