“I avoid Scarsdale like the plague (although Chappaqua is far worse). Rye would be the other town in question.”
Agree. Tarrytown is a nice town as well.
“The peak of the Catholic Church in terms of unity, devotion, and political influence, lasted from roughly the end of WWI until the 2nd Vatican Council. America in general has since grown more secular (in terms of religious devotion), but this secularization is particularly pronounced on ancestral “Catholics” in the northeast and upper Midwest.”
We’ve had peaks and valleys all through history. There’s been a parallel evil since the the Garden.
AGE OF AQUARIUS
“Expression derived from astrology to describe the new age of freedom in all areas of human life and of peace without war among men. The term is partly derived from the medieval belief that the conjunction of certain planets was the sign of a new era in human history. It is also associated with the claim among astrologers that the aquarian personality is warm and friendly, hence the Age of Aquarius (just dawned) is to be an epoch of universal brotherhood.”
