Alan: The Greatest Generation did not believe the nonsense that now passes for normal.
The fact that wage earners now believe hair-brained nonsense is a measure of their intellectual and moral collapse, a bottomless sinkhole wrought by the same magnates and corporations whom workers applaud no matter what percentage of the nation's productivity The Filthy Rich sequesterfor themselves, and no matter how diligently The Ruling Class strives to eliminate jobs by outsourcing, worker consolidation and automation.
It's a great story...
But it's a story...
This much is true....
If Americans had not been seduced into serving the very plutocrats who oppress them, they would enjoy single-payer healthcare; no crippling student debt; police forces that don't shoot more bullets in single gun battles than the total number of bullets fired by all German police in entire calendar years; citizens who are sufficiently educated that they realize the truth of anthropogenic Global Warming... the sine qua non importance of childhood vaccinations... and insist on congressional districts drawn by independent agencies employing reasonable norms under aegis of Fairness.

If Americans had not been seduced into serving the very plutocrats who oppress them, they would also know that The Second Amendment means exactly what it says and that The Preamble to the Constitution declares the nation's most basic
guiding principle.
The right to keep and bear arms depends -- first and foremost -- on the subjection of those arms to the regulatory norms of "a well-regulated militia."
What do 2nd amendment evangelists think "well-regulated" means?

Lest we forget...
Whatever "the community of people needs to have done" is "the legitimate object of government."
The object is not whatever rugged individuals, motivated by their dimwitted maliciousness, wish to condemn, curtail or kill.

Remember to send it back!)
I want this back. It DOES
work.
His name was Fleming, and he was a
poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his
family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his
tools and ran to the bog.
There, mired to his waist in black
muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself.
Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and
terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage
pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed
nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy
Farmer Fleming had saved.
'I want to repay you,' said the
nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'
'No, I can't accept payment for what
I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment,
the farmer's own son came to the door of the family
hovel.
'Is that your son?' the nobleman
asked.
'Yes,' the farmer replied
proudly.
'I'll make you a deal. Let me
provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad
is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will
be proud of.' And that he did.
Farmer Fleming's son attended the
very best schools and in time, graduated from St Mary's Hospital Medical
School inLondon, and went on to become known throughout the world as the
noted
Sir Alexander Fleming, the
discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the same nobleman's
son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his
life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord
Randolph Churchill ... His son's name?
Sir Winston
Churchill
