I dunno... I hope you're right. Sometimes I think most folks in this country are past redemption though. We, as a country, can't go through the 60's and Dr. Spock and Vietnam and Timothy Leary and Clinton and school violence and Marilyn Manson and all the rest and not come out just a bit screwy in the noggin...
Alot of folks just don't have the same moral sense that was really taken for granted, say, fifty, sixty years ago... I don't think something like that can be easily regained, and certainly not in a short time...
