That “at least” caught my attention as well. Is irony the lens for how we can read HCRs sentence? I dislike the framing of the circumstances we find ourselves in: war, fight, battle.

That “at least” caught my attention as well. Is irony the lens for how we can read HCRs sentence? I dislike the framing of the circumstances we find ourselves in: war, fight, battle. My alternative frame isn’t much better but I think of what has happened as a cultural coup. We here, are those who have accepted the American cultural theme developed during the first three quarters of the 20th century that I think of as progressivism. We have put our faith into the concept of a social contract that includes equality, human rights, safety nets…pretty much everything that is engendered in the Declaration and the Preamble. That is our lens and it’s discouraging to discover that millions of us don’t embrace the culture. The reality is that these folks have existed all along. Intellectually there aren’t many in this group but there are easy ways to influence others, millions of others into believing that something different is going to be better than what we have developed over 250 years. I don’t want a war or to fight against anyone…they’ve bought all the guns and ammunition. I want us to return to the older culture but we’ve been dumbed down, we’ve been exposed to overwhelming wealth and we don’t eat well…our society is diseased. How will we fix this?
