Can The Economy Ever Be 'Good' While So Many Don't Have Walls?

The problem is that the red ideology is to cover their eyes and pretend not to see problems.  As long as their philosophy is dominant, problems don’t get solved.  I am willing enough to listen should you provide a new idea on how to solve a problem, but that doesn’t do much if the majority idea is to not solve problems.

Yes.  There are few free thinkers left.  Most boomers have moved on, sold out, set roots, however you want to describe it.  We have left Vietnam and flower children well behind in our youth.  Have you?

Another problem is that heroes haven’t done their thing.  They have not voted.  They have not produced leaders.  They have not actually worked towards the new values save as individuals.  They have not produced a generation that works towards solving a problem that is larger than individual, that benefits the nation or the world.  When they do, more power to them and I will get out of the way.  Until they do, the new values, the adaptation to the modern situation, will have to be presented.

One flaw in the S&H vision is that it presents another way to be prejudiced, to be biased, to divide.  There are some people who are into S&H to be generationally prejudiced, to see one generation as the good guys, another to be bad guys.  Again, this is a perversion of the intent of S&H.  It is not at all what the authors had in mind.  It has no place on a S&H website.  Such posters belong on hate websites.

I’ll give you a clue.  This is not about this generation against that.  It is not about this Civilization against that.  It is not even about this Age against that directly, though any crisis moves things a little towards a future Age.  It is about red vs blue.  It is about Republican against Democrats.  That is what is on the ballot.  The issue is how long the red can cling to the old flawed values before the progressive idea of working for a collective policy of working towards something larger than one’s self is dominant for a time.

As soon as the younger generations are ready to step up to the plate, sure.
