« Calendars ahoy | MAIN | But what about socialization? »

Overwrought

This article from Bruce Fein in the Washington Times seems a bit overdone to me. It's the usual "we've done gone to Hell in a handbasket" bit that every generation comes up with as they look back to Washington and Jefferson and then look around at their own era's US Grant or Harry Truman or, God help us, Jimmy Carter.

Sure, things have gone downhill ever since we first headed east from Eden. Every generation looks at their youngsters and foretells disaster; forty years later those youngsters look at theirs and foretell the same. And yet it all works out somehow and we keep stumbling along.

A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought.—Lord Peter Wimsey
