The Road to Dystopia

It's really quite strange that those young people who have their life ahead of them are the very ones that seem least concerned about the future.  For some inexplicable reason they seem unable to focus on the looming dangers poised by the unrelenting attacks on those elements that have made America the greatest nation in the world.  Instead they would tear down the very fabric of the State and replace it with some Utopian dream.  An idealistic society that can only be found in a fairy tale.  A Brave New World, a mythical Shangri-La that will miraculously appear when the old order is swept away.  The sad truth is that this quest for societal perfection is nothing new.

We are now witnessing such quest by many in this nation.  With attempts to destroy the very symbols of the past that remind us of the leaders, the trials and tribulations that have formed the United States.  The attacks on Confederate Monuments was not spawned by the fact that the southern states allowed slavery, but was only the opening salvo on American History.  We are now seeing the escalation to include attacks on Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington.  Even today the Dallas Texas school is considering renaming those schools named after, Washington, Jefferson, and even Ben Franklin.  And of course the flag and National Anthem are under attack, by those that say they are in some way racist.  I'm afraid this effort to mold America into some Utopian homogeneous society has spread to the Ivy-covered walls of academia and even to the crayon-covered tables of the local kindergarten.  

Unfortunately, as we've seen too many times in recent history--the quest for this Utopia has ended in disaster as in the old USSR, Nazi Germany, Castro's Cuba, Robert Magubee's Zimbabwe, and of course the latest victim, of what I call a lust for Utopia, Muduro's Venezuela.  Yes, the fools among us believe we are on a path to Utopia, but alas it will turn out to be the 'Road to Dystopia'!
