I have a long response to your charge. I have not the time however.

I'll go with one idea. During WWII a huge percentage of the country was united is a massive war effort. The dynamics of that war effort are impossible to imagine ever occuring again in America. Explain how this change in dynamic is not a huge long term negative.

You win. Global war is the answer to all the country's problems.

I bet you watch the movie 1984 and wish America was more like that, huh? More war, more "united in dynamics" of group effort, more rationing and regulation, more industrialization, more reliance on the government for what is going on in the world .... and less having to think and act for ourselves. Yes, the true American utopia of military/industrial mobilization!!! Just as our Founding Fathers envisioned -- a nation of industrial workers serving a giant war effort. Jefferson would be so proud. By the way, if you cite the American mobilization of the 1940s as our finest hour, you probably would have really loved Soviet communism.

And I am the one who doesn't know history?
