Progress Down a Slope

For the undecided or confused, the young, or anyone with scant knowledge of the past, it is important, I think, before voting, to see an A:B comparison between America before and after it changed during the past century.  The following "thumbnail review" includes firsthand experience.

Before the social revolution of the 1960s, it was typical and normal for men to respect women.  It was typical and normal not "to go all the way" until marriage.  It was typical and normal for married couples to stick together "for worse," too.  It was typical and normal for children to grow up in two-parent families with a tradition of honesty and morality, fathers providing support, mothers providing childcare and guidance.  Deliberate abortion, recognized as an act of killing innocent human life, was illegal.  Killing for thrill, kids gunning one another down or murdering their parents, was unheard of.  The list is long of the things that changed after the "liberation politics" of the second half of the 20th century.

I see another factor in play and that is that prosperity breeds indolence of habit and mind. What is called capitalism creates the prosperity that breeds the indolence that undermines the prosperity. And that makes for a playground for the 'progressives.'
