...”The boomers have destroyed (in my lifetime) the family, marriage, sex, objectivity, morality, piety, a sense of shame, privacy, community, personal responsibility and the economy. Is there anything left the eternal adolescents wont destroy?”...
Correct! Ironically, the boost to end all of those good things we had came initially from academia in the 60s. Of course, the Progressives were at work before that but the decline really took off in the 60s. Unforuntately, with wealth redistribution being the big push now, there is plenty they can still destroy. Anyone with children, especially boys, who pays attention to the education system has to be horrified. And, the bullying is unreal..No one wants to take responsibility for this government system which has reeled out of control on every front. It all just seems like a corrupt mess.
Back then, academics were people who actually KNEW things, like multiple languages, a skill that required serious training in regards to studying (like the sciences and engineering) and then there were other things like if someone wanted to teach writing, they learned the exact method of constructing a perfect sentence or turn of phrase. School was for REAL subjects, not stuff like journalism (WHY does someone have to get a degree in that?) and in order to graduate you had to know stuff like multiple languages and write endlessly long essays and KNOW what you were talking about.
“Anyone with children, especially boys, who pays attention to the education system has to be horrified.”
You’re right; at this point we are simply a Fifth Column waiting for someone with a better way.
