People back then had 5000X the personal space than they do now.
Popular politicization now favors anyone willing to open their pockets
and bank accounts to parasites, rather than patriots.

The master plan is to suck the blood supply dry through Federal
exchanges of the kind the nation is currently experiencing. Social
incrementalists prefer to look down their noses at anyone without this
ability. Clearly its a plan to FUD anyone without enough personal
space around them, that equates security with material wealth.

Public speaking for the love of money, where only money = security is
one thing. Speaking for the heart, soul, and mind of a nation for that
security is completely another.

I remember in 1958, reading "A Night To Remember" as part of a class
project, and writing a paper on it to be read to the class. The teacher
was surprised by my choice of material. Hell, it had a boat on the
cover...enough for me.

So, I read the book, wrote the paper and turned it in for grade,
prior to reading it to the class.

The teacher rejected it out of hand. Apparently I didn't get the
message that Lord had intended. And that was (and she was
extraordinarily clear about this):

That the truest honor would have been to leave the lifeboats in the
davits with those that had boarded them remaining on board. That it was
an act of the purest selfishness and greed to have boarded the lifeboats
knowing that everyone could not do so. Survival meant nothing when so
many would have to die.

The only honor, in fact the only DUTY of those selfish individuals,
would have been to die with their shipmates to face what may come
toether, rather than to be so self centered as to board the boats to
survive the wreck.

She went on to drive the point home: If only one person had to die
because the boats could not hold him, then it would have been their God
given duty for everyone to remain on board and face the moment together.

She failed me on the paper.

She also insisted that we divide up and share what was in my lunch
bags with other members of the class. I had leftover chicken cacciatore.
What I got to eat was half of a PJ&Balogna. Eewww.


That was my first encounter with the social agenda in the schools.

I know you'll be shocked to know that I vociferously objected to her
position.

OMG, Your teacher was a commie. You should have reported her to the School
Board, the PTA, the committe on unamerican affairs, the teacher's union,
etc.

It wasn't "the social agenda", you just had an insane teacher.
