29. Excellence response!

You're right, of course, about the "reaction to the reaction." It's interesting how it played out in different parts of the country. My memory is of my classes being cut from 7 a day to 6 under Governor Reagan with dire predictions of more to come. I don't think California was affected economically in any serious way until the base closings and that was under Bush I. Luckily Silicon Valley was there to take up the slack. Other Californians may remember it differently.

"If this disillusions a generation and dissuades them from a path of supporting such politicians, there is yet space for hope."

True, but I'm afraid that disillusionment has/will turn to apathy and we'll just sink further and further into the abyss. As Boomers, we're starting to travel off to that Great Sit-In In the Sky and I'm concerned about who will take over. While we're still here, how we can help motivate them?
