That, as long as the progressive movement (through the Democratic Party) is in hoc to the trial lawyers, we'll remain a litigious country unable to ever curb health care costs, let alone raise fearless children, given that even swing sets can't be built in a country populated by whiners abetted by greedy lawyers always ready to sue.
That, establishing the State of Israel in 1948 was a hair-brained idea, that only happened because of post-war guilt in America and England over having done so little to prevent the Holocaust, and that without that guilt the nineteenth century Zionist cult would have remained just that: just another religio/political crazy little dream.
That, the sexual revolution was actually a bad idea, and that its leaders turned out to be not much more than a bunch of dirty old (and/or dirty young) masturbators whose personal (often misogynistic) lives gave the lie to any notion of actual liberation.
That, Roe v. Wade was extreme (say in comparison to most European country's laws legalizing abortion) and thus started the culture wars, and led to almost an unbroken -- and disastrous -- 30 years of Republican domination of politics, and that maybe late term abortions legal under Roe, really are infanticide.
That, the post-Vietnam generation used that war and the all-volunteer system of military recruitment which followed it, to duck service to our country in a way that is both elitist and profoundly dishonorable, and hypocritically excused themselves by always finding fault in this or that war, or president, while the real issue always was: let the working class do the heavy lifting!
Want to add to the list of unmentionables? Let's start the New Year by putting everything on the table and explore all options to our problems, history, prejudices, beliefs and superstitions, not just stick with what our peer group finds acceptable.
