<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2143816, member: 71723&quot;]What you say is mostly true, but (and I&#039;ve opined on this before) I see a generation coming that thinks ancient history is anything before the iPhone came out. They consider a PlayStation original as a relic of a long lost age. Anything that predates themselves is dismissed with a wave of a hand. I see a generation so utterly self-obsessed that to them a coin with a date starting with a &quot;1&quot; is not modern. Why is this? Well, for starters, they were never taught history, at least those who went to public schools. History was replaced by NEA-devised political indoctrination. I saw it myself in my kid&#039;s IEP (individualized educational program). There was no appreciation or even much mention of what &quot;normally educated people&quot; would call history.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anti-Federal Reserve anti-fiat money discussion and values was utterly absent. Those guys are dying off. (And it&#039;s a good thing, too. It&#039;s all just John Birch Society tripe anyway.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I know a lot of people don&#039;t believe my &quot;these kids are just fundamentally mutants&quot; rant, but I believe it with every fibre of my being. These young adults today are more different than all that came before them than any generation ever in history. The &quot;flower children&quot; were amateur world-changers. These rugrats are the pros.</p><p><br /></p><p>My kid now votes and he never lived while the Soviet Union existed. Think about that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
