AM @ 5: I’d like to think that old fashion hard work and technology will have a place until a new generation that has been deprogrammed of their political fantasies can assume the mantle of the world.

I can’t parse that, AM. The way I’d say it is we need now to spend 40 years in the wilderness, have to go through a New Dark Ages, before a new generation will reject the follies of their parents and come back to good sense. Or maybe you’re saying just the opposite, I dunno.
