It is nice to see some of the old crew still around, may I ask if there is a Facebook page which I could join.
Yes, I'm among the hardcore, apparently. Eric Meese and pbrower are here as well, as are many others who post less often.

She's the most senior member of this forum except for the Webmaster. She uses here real name: taramarie, and she's definitely a Millenial, regardless of any offset to the US timeline.[/quote]

The developments which have occurred during the Fourth Turning there have been exterminating concerning, if not scary. For example; the European Union could collapse in the next few years. Because Brexit could be the start of this process, along with the migrant crisis, the economic depressions countries such as Spain and especially Greece have undergone.
Also people are predicting a civil war between the Muslim and native populations of Western Europe, given that France was in a state of emergency for two years after the terrorist attacks of November 2015 such fears could be justifiable.

Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
