I know. Too heavy for a sunday morning.
Just always looking for good news. Haven’t given up yet today. Maybe I’d better.
Fifty years. Hmm.
I do know I tell my high school students, esp when they pontificate on smokers they see in the old movies I show them for lit class, consider what future generations will be saying about US. Cigarettes, bah! They’ll be saying fifty five (more by then) million babies killed?! LegallY?! And that’s the good side. That future generations might be good.
The only good news I can really believe in anymore is that the pendulum ALWAYS swings back. Always. And since Obama and Co. pushed/continue to push it so very far to the left, the swing back is going to make one hell of a mess to liberalism.
History always repeats. From the French and American revolutions to any number of other historical examples. Blowback really sucks. And as a teacher, I know I don’t have to tell you that ;)
The other thing that gives me hope is that a significant number of millenials just aren’t buying the BS. The fact that any of them question things gives me hope.
My go to example is the gun control thing. From GenX on, we (I’m 47) have been raised on video games. With guns in them. Sales figures show that first person/war/HALO type games are the big sellers. They LIKE guns.
Gun sales figures show they buy real ones when they are of age to do so. Murder cases show that the majority of these gun loving gamers are not spree killers. Just normal people.
Whadda ya think is going to happen to dem election chances as more of them start pushing these young pups to hand in their weapons for their own good...then ban any depiction of guns from games?
It ain’t going to go well. If there is one thing the millenials do not like hearing it’s “You can’t/wont.” Not after libs pumped them full of “Be free to be you” for 2 decades....
Heh....;)
