You are, of course, correct. All of the cycles of History are just a reflection of human psychology. When times are good, people slack off and get diverted into all kinds of things that are not important... Dor which are destructive of the things that created the good times.

It is just frustrating as Hell to live in a time when all the weak people are busy creating hard times (and blaming all of us for opposing them). I grew up at a time (late 60s and 70s) when the strong men were busy creating good times. After all, I had this expectation that things would continue as they had been...and, in the fullness of time and with some experience and knowledge of History, I realized that that could never be the case.

Oh well. I may be a little too old to kick much ass, but I can surely instruct my kids and grandkids as to how to do so. They will have to be the strong men created by the hard times.

The human animal requires a bit of adversity to prosper...adversity of the existential kind. A lack of adversity promotes sloth. Wealth has been created by the "Boomer" generation, and will be soon frittered away by our unworthy heirs and assigns....

Texan,
We all have instructed our kids and grandkids as to how to kick ass. How is that working out? Might require more than harsh words....

Anon 12/24: Prosperity, not wealth, for many in the Boomer generation has been achieved by saddling their kids, grandkids, and great grandkids w/ boatloads of pension and government debt...
