Compulsion For Uniformity

I look back to my college days. I was much more liberal in those days. But I feared the CIA and the FBI. I had a disdain for Big Government. I was concerned about 'Big Business' but knew that is where jobs came from.

these kids today seem to love Big Government telling them what to do.

Part of the problem is the switch in how our history is taught in many schools. The emphasis used to be on the adventure of discovery, by the great European explorers, followed by the adventure of settling a veritable wilderness, etc..

Big Government was never a factor here until after the French & Indian War, when the British troops, sent over to protect the Colonists from the French & their allies, staid over to enforce Parliamentary decrees.
