A lot of seniors are fired up, myself included. Anybody born after 1980 doesn’t have a clue about how America used to be. As far as they are concerned, everything is OK because that’s all they know. Anything that happened in the 30’s to the 60’s is history to them, unlike those of us in our 70’s who lived through those decades.

Unfortunately, our generation is now too old to literally fight and it’s unlikely that another Greatest Generation is going to arise from the populace now.

I don’t know what the answer is. All I know is that my beloved country is on the brink of something terrible and I don’t know if there are enough true Americans to avert the coming devastation.

I'll be 46 in Sunday and even noticed the changes from what I remember in the 1970's to now and it is a greatly different world where I feel like I fell through a crack in the space/time continuum. Heck, when you think about it there is an entire generation of adults who never saw a Moon Landing.

With this ruling, even before I had a sick feeling to my stomach. AS the tagline below says where we jumped the shark, I knew I heard the twin Evenrudes idling up to speed and saw Fonzie putting on his water skis Some say America Jumped The Shark in 1865 where the South lost to 2008 when the Doomsday Machine from Kenya got elected. Still you cannot provide a true "shark jumping" moment, that is until now.

Maybe Roberts was thinking that if he ruled this way, he'd take one for the team and help Romney get elected. Obama won so he cannot really play the victim, his best card. Still the SC is supposed to judge what passes Constitutional Muster and what does not. It is the place to do the right thing, not be a political tool. I doubt this theory myself but I cannot rule it out all the way.
