Re: 20-Jun-14 World View -- Obama orders more military into

Back in the '90s I listened to a radio interview of one of Clinton's state trooper security detail when he was governor of Arkansas. He said that when Hillary would come in from a trip or simply from her work day she never had much to do with Chelsea. "She would just kind of pat her on the head like...

Re: 20-Jun-14 World View -- Obama orders more military into

I don't know how many people have told me that they don't like the idea of the U.S. being "policeman of the world," but that's exactly what the U.S. has been since President Harry Truman's Truman Doctrine of 1947. Every President since then has fulfilled that commitment till now, because the cost o...

Re: 1-Jun-14 World View -- Hagel sets a 'red line' for China

One major thing that concerns me is that, indeed, history is repeating itself once again. I've talked to numerous people and realize that we are just as arrogant, just as complacent, and just as unprepared for a major attack as we were in 1941. With all the talk that China can't possibly threaten u...

Re: 7-Mar-14 World View -- Crimea votes to secede from Ukrai

Kissinger says that lying about the soldiers is cynical, but it's a good sign, because it provides a way for Russia to back down. Russia's president Vladimir Putin is going to suffer a major loss of prestige over the Ukraine crisis, no matter how it turns out, according to Kissinger, and Putin know...

Re: Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics - A Generation X Specialt

I'm betting that the cops involved were older Millennials and younger Gen-Xers. It requires a great level of trust that 'Daddy' knows best to engage in such activity. These are the groups you can count on to march in lockstep when there's blood to be shed, potentially. Be careful what you ask them t...

Re: Generational views on guns?

It's definitely generational as much or more than geographical. I say that as a federal law enforcement officer who's been deep in the political fight to pass shall-issue statutes at the state level. This movement reached critical mass in the early 1990s, just when the youngest Boomers and oldest Ge...

Re: Generation X incompetence and cowardice - Obama style

I'm no Obama lover, mainly for political reasons. In a word, he's a socialist. I'm not. But, when Gen-X enters into a confrontation, it doesn't usually compromise. Remember what happened with crime rates when Gen-X entered young adulthood. Gen-X doesn't mind a fight. Remember, It was the Nomad arche...

Re: 17-Feb-14 World View -- Egypt's terrorism escalates

http://www.generationaldynamics.com/pg/xct.gd.e140217.htm This is the standard Nomad archetype/Generation-X nihilistic paradigm: Destroy everything so that you can start over with a blank slate, also sometimes stated as "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet." The Gen-Xer-in-chief believes ...
