"A lot of the loss of political sanity we see today reflects the death fears of the Boomer Left"

Being a Dem/Lefty/"Progressive" in the 60s was highly overrated and may have caused permanent damage.

Noteworthy:

"When people confront their own mortality, their finiteness, they tend to project their personal fears onto the world. So we have Global Warming panic, Flesh-Eating Germs panic, Nuclear Power panic and scores of other imaginary fears. For anxious people the world is full of scary things, all because of their need to escape the prospect of personal end. The PC world is as full of superstitious phobias as the Mayan world of a thousand years ago; the Mayans controlled their fears by sacrificing children to ensure the sun would rise the next morning. We sacrifice conservatives: Newt Gingrich, George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, two Attorneys General in a row."

Great summation:


"One of these days it would be nice for the grown-ups to take the culture back."


You're preaching to the choir here, bro.......
