What’s changed since then?

Oh, let me count the ways.

Start with (80’s) the ‘hippy offspring’ from the 60’s were coming of age, the hippy’s/peacenicks were underground slowly entrenching themselves in our education and political system.

“WE” just continued to work on, subtly ignoring the signs but kept going to work, feeding the juggernaut that was eating us alive.

By the time us pre boomers were getting to the ‘retirement’ table we ‘woke up’ to find that the inmates had indeed taken over the asylum -

We are ‘almost’ the bottom line in the old saying:
“First they came for the poor, then they came for the lame, etc etc etc now “WE” are at the stage of ‘they are coming for ‘US’ and there is no one left to help ‘us’”.

OF COURSE, when all the ‘worker bees’ fail to come out of the hive to support the ‘queen bee’ the ‘queen bees’ loyal subjects will turn on themselves first, and by the time they figure out it is time to come for us, hopefully ‘WE’ will be awake and able enough to take care of ourselves.....

NOW this is NOT a broad bush attack on one generation or another, there are plenty of good and bad (at least in our way of thinking) from our and their generations but like the man says, “Americas chickens have come home to roost” let me add: They just are outnumbering the Hawks and Eagles, but maybe, just maybe the Hawks and Eagles will awaken and bring some civility back to the table.
