There's just so much wonderful information included in your commentary. I add, Bari, that your global perspective and overview offer an insightful way to look at our recent past history. Indeed, as you correctly point out, the world has changed, and the transformation has been dramatic.

The slow, steady creep of socialistic/left-wing thinking, which has been demonstrably proven again and again to be a failure, has become pervasive in our media, our universities, and our political life.
Unless we can stop giving away everything for nothing in return (see the coming Iranian agreement debacle), and start demanding responsibility and accountability for our actions, in effect, establishing a pay-as-you-go foundation, our "uncivilization" will crumble.
Like you, Bari, I grew up believing that liberalism could solve every problem. Unfortunately, I got mugged by a reality where personal gain, a selfish desire to put oneself before others, and a collective moral compass that did not point north toward the betterment of all.
I'm an old man now, but I am encouraged by your writing and insight to help us navigate a new path out of this morass.
Wow! I need to read this again and again.
