"Acceptable," Merriam-Webster, definition #2, section b: barely satisfactory or adequate
Is this our expectation? Should I look no deeper for a fund of knowledge in our youth? Is Plutarch wrong? Forget this mind as a fire to be kindled. Leave it to mindless button pushing, locked into a television set. Let our bodies rot under their own weight. Out, out brief candle without a moment of spark.
No more is there pride. Long since been replaced by acceptable. We have lost sight of our past. Much of this country has forgotten, never learned, or never fully grasped the blood, sweat, and tears of our 'Greatest Generation' and those who came before. We have become soft, weak, full of blame, and completely lacking responsibility.
In essence, without a clear understanding of our past, without true leadership, without a protected family nucleus, without respect, without sympathy, without empathy, without responsibility, the future is lost. America is at risk. We are at risk of the ultimate of all risks, extinction.
