This piece is kinda interesting too, Boogie (and thanks for your input on this, you're really helping me understand this issue).
So, if I'm reading this right, you're kinda implying that the US has already deviated "sufficiently" from the original intent of the 10th, that it's basically "impossible" (or "very difficult") to get back at this point?
And are you suggesting that human nature is the "reason" for that, or are you simply observing that there's an "amplifying effect" in that regard? |
Unfortunately...yes. It's a sign of the changing face of our society.
Remember Kennedy's speech? "Ask not what your country can do for you?" Man, is THAT every an irony now! NOW people demand everything from their country, but don't want to lift a finger in return. It's the exact opposite.
Personally, I don't know when the needle will swing back, the other way. We live in a selfish, head-in-the-sand society, and looking at how we're bringing up our children...it's going to get a lot worse, before it gets any better.
