Hard Times..........

[Dingo]

Hard times create strong men.

Strong men create good times.

Good times create weak men.

Weak men create hard times.


This is Strauss Howe Generational Theory and according to the theory this occurs every 70-80 years. If the theory is correct, the brown stuff is about to hit the air moving device.

I believe this to be absolutely true. The children of the Great Depression went to war, were some of the most awe inspiring warriors the world has ever seen, came back and raised America to greatness. We are in a trough for greatness in America 70 years later. Their children, the baby boomers, were raised in ease and excess. Became hippies who thought their rights included the right to be leeches on society, that government's job is to provide for their needs and wants, whose politicians have raided the cookie jar of not only our generation but many generations to come to provide aid and sustenance to those who would not work. We have become a generation of entitled wimps. Men have become pussiefied to the point they have no knowledge of how to be men. We have become overly concerned with feelings. We have lost our moral compass, we have lost our ability to reason, we have lost our sense of history and why it is necessary to learn from it.
The bright and shining America to come, it there is to be one, will be on the other side of a deep, dark Valley.

I'd agree, although I think it's more a 3-4 generation cycle, which, given current life expectancy, extends the timeline a bit.

Yep.
Our next generation of business and political leaders have graduated from political indoctrination camps known as liberal arts universities, where they cry and need counseling when they see "Trump 2016" written in chalk on the public sidewalk.

We have an entire generation already grown into adulthood who were told that it's OK to only eat chicken nuggets at restaurants, and if you don't like peas and carrots, mommy will give you a bowl of Cap'n Crunch for supper while the rest of the family has real food. These people were never told "no" in their entire lives, and expect the world to do everything for them.

Sorry Dingo, according to Webster that is not the origin of that word.

Last term I heard pusillanimous used in a sentence I was watching this 40-some odd years ago.
