Reply #44: Imagine: The top three political leaders of these times suddenly dead [View All]

That's what the world was like in 1968. We knew we were in a war with an implacable enemy but somehow we knew that there were enough of us so that we could and would rebuild this country back the way the forefathers had meant it to be. But now, I am not so sure. Perhaps
curse of getting older is increased cynicism. It seems that people are WILLFULLY ignorant these days, unable or unwilling to look beyond their own selfish goals to the future of the Republic. What's worse, there are too few willing to put their bodies into the fray, even if it is just to appear in mass demonstrations. I can only hope that the younger people out there will be willing to throw themselves up against the barricades of police because that, once again, is what it will take. This grim duty falls to some generations; thankfully not all. In the past, the generation called has summoned the necessary will to fight.
