Correct! And I agree with Anderson...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Correct! And I agree with Anderson's low view of the intellectual and moral degenerates who now dominate the US. The kind of people others call "Social Justice Warriors" or, at John Wright's blog, "Morlocks."<br /><br />SeanSean M.

The time when contempt by our socio/political elites for facts, logic, and reasoned thought became the dominant norm. I have contempt not only for the Sixties but also for the Seventies. I think we see Anderson's contempt for that disgraceful period most clearly in THERE WILL BE TIME.<br /><br />In fact, Paul Johnson, in his history of the post WW I era, MODERN TIMES, calls that period the time when the US tried to commit suicide!<br /><br />SeanSean M.

It's often both eerie and glorious.David Birrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973889429164886381noreply@blogger.com
