We are moving toward a society motivated by high-minded,
unexamined ideals. Most politicians are
ignorant of history and fail to consider why traditions ever began.
Helping the poor is easy.
We give them money, with strings attached. We raise minimum wage, so that every job has
good pay. That was easy. How’s that working for us?
Managing health care is easy. We let the government handle it. Oh, it’s expensive? No problem—the government owns the printing
presses. We can make money with ink and
paper.
Mass murders are getting out of hand. We can just take guns away from everybody—except
the authorities, of course. They are good
and noble. They are such a superior
breed of humanity that they have no ulterior motives.
People feel discriminated against. Make discrimination illegal. Now it’s against the law to have the wrong
opinions about certain people. We try people
for hate crimes and determine what’s going on in their souls.
We can redefine marriage, redefine family. We have the technology to conquer nature, so
that anyone can be a parent. We only
believe in back-to-nature when it serves the right agenda.
It used to be that grownups kept the kids from doing
dangerous, destructive things. Now the
kids are in charge, and there is no check on behavior.
