This is a generational switch. imho
WWI, WWII, KOREN, VIETNAM...all came from generations that believed the government would take care of them. (not so today) They trusted the government.(not so today) If Gov Amighty said they had to go to war...they did with a smile on their faces cause Gov Almighty is doing what is in their best interest.(not so today) Even if they had to die for 'the cause'. (not so today) Then there was SS and Medicare...just to name a few other 'Gov Almighty will take care of you' bullcrap.
I used VIETNAM in my previous paragraph...but that was not supported 100%. That is where the generation began to change. There were draft dodgers and protests in opposition of the war. It has taken hold and the sentiment has expanded ever since.
There is a growing sentiment, in this generation, where folks do NOT trust their government anymore like the previous generations. They look at the, corruption, greed, wars, regulations, laws, forced healthcare as government over stepping their boundaries. Today's generation is pressing hard against Gov Almighty. They don't honor war, killing, laws, regulation, forced entitlements etc... Perhaps they are correct!
History will be the judge....but sadly we'll be dead and gone to see how it played out.
It's this generation's turn....give them the ball freely and let them run with it....it's their time now.
However it clearly does NOT represent 100% of the generations. |
