Our cultural discontent is spreading and leading us in some manner toward our own destruction. Unless we can change our cultural imperatives, find our balance, we haven't a chance.
Every one of Marshall's points is cogent and worthy of a dissertation, and in fact these points have been elucidated over and over again by certain thinkers historically. The mass of people are uneducated however, and/or unwilling to take them seriously.
Few people, especially those important folks in "leadership" positions in our society, are capable of understanding our present condition and, more importantly, are apparently incapable of acting to resolve the inherent causation in our malaise.
I believe this is because our culture is dominated by money, not common sense. Our leaders are elected because they have money, or know how to obtain it. They are not elected for their intellectual contribution to society. They haven't problem solving skills. Their skills are minimally concerned with everything except money, which as the old saying goes "isn't everything."
Except to the greedy.
People, we must change how we live in order to alter our culture. A national dialogue, uninterrupted by advertising, must occur. The sooner the better.
