I agree that it started long before LBJ, though Johnson provided the funding with his totally communist Great Society. So many things were happening in America in the 60s... Wow. :) <br /><br /> Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775073594938909298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114877411975379535.post-25017977744635485712012-12-19T21:04:17.245-06:002012-12-19T21:04:17.245-06:00It started way before Johnson - although it picked...It started way before Johnson - although it picked up quite a head of steam under him. You need to go back as far as Dewey in the early 1900's. <br /><br />You can read The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, former Senior Policy Advisor in the U.S. Department of Education online.<br /><br />Google the title and scroll down to the pdf of the entire book. The first chapter covers Dewey quite well.

I know about the old car, the new car, the new pick up, the camper, the motorcycles, the jet skis, the boat, the snow mobiles, and the four wheelers in the driveway. Strange to need all that stuff. The toys usually sit until the sun causes them to rot.<br /><br />Hope you're doing well!

I would even go so far as to say that American mothers should strive to stay home and raise their children to be good people with values instead of worring about earning a buck and keeping up with the Jones' and having a snowmobile, a boat, and three four wheelers in the driveway. To let our men be men and provide for their families and the women to be wives and mothers who take pride in what they do...but, hey, I'm just old fashioned that way I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
