Ditto that.
Americans have had enough of glitz and roar . . Foreboding has deepened, and spiritual currents have darkened . . .
THE FOURTH TURNING IS AT HAND.
See T4T, p. 253.

Ooh, it is so complex and yet, so simple. I like discussions with peers and adults, but it is impossible for me to say what I actually believe. If an "important" issue comes up, I've learned to say it doesn't matter. However, in school, I'm often forced to write about a certain current event and I always wind up lying.

Very nice, Mr. Butler. Maybe S&H mentioned this somewhere in their books, but I had not previously associated Lincoln's opening line of the Gettysburg Address with an unintended measure of a saeculum. (I'm probably the last to see this, though.)
