In reply to the discussion: WE HAVE LOST OUR SOUL [View all]Egalitarian Thug
(12,448 posts)62. WELL, MY CAPS LOCK WORKS TOO! You are not alone in having lived
during those times, and your word is not representative of reality despite your Woody Allen fired fantasies. The facts were, and remain clear. America was not, is not, and likely will not. ever be moved into a better future. They hated all the change that the '60s & '70s brought, that's why they voted for reagan, and all signs since then have pointed to Americans remaining the uptight, constipated, Calvinistic assholes they've been for the foreseeable future.
While you were in the military being fed a consistent diet of bullshit and indoctrination, the rest of us were here watching and living what actually happened.

We need to do something stunning, purposeful, and shocking but not terrifying or lethal or evil.
