As the author pointed out, the Progressives have been deliberately dumbing us down for over a hundred years. They could never have sold collectivism to Americans without breeding the native self-reliance and individualism out of us. It is embarrassing how effective they have been at their task. You are right that there is nothing short of revolution that we can do about it now. ◄Dave► Hi Ken,

It is difficult to believe that this country elected this person, with no experience and no record of any accomplishment to lead. But as near as I can see, there are only complaints, and no concrete plan to do anything about the situation. We are preaching to the choir, there seems no way to undo the mind set that has been induced in the last couple of generations, Is it possible that civilations must go through a certain number of situations, and that groups of people do the same things with predictable results?
