On what rot the 1960s wreaked upon today (emphasis mine): “Only a few periods in American history,” the New York Times intoned in an editorial called “In Praise of the Counterculture”: … have seen such a rich fulfillment of the informing ideals of personal freedom and creativity that lie at the heart of the American intellectual tradition. …
Overall, 68 percent of released state prisoners were arrested within three years, 79 percent within six years and 83 percent within nine years. The 401,288 released state prisoners were arrested an estimated 2 million times during the nine years after their release, an average of five arrests per released prisoner. On an annual basis, 44 …
(reformatted, emphasis mine): Bernie’s socialism was controversial in the ’16 primaries. In ’18, most of his ideas have been embraced by his prospective ’20 rivals. His people are rising within the DNC. Hillary Clinton didn’t just kill off her crooked political dynasty. Her defeat also killed triangulation.

Jacqueline Blaszka Campbell falls into this failure: “A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to …
Sorry, but the good judge got one thing really wrong – the word “allow” (emphasis mine): To be sure, many Americans of good faith bemoan the amount of money spent on campaign contributions and political speech.
