While I agree with much of what Jeffrey Tucker says in the Sept. 8–12 issue [“Public Resistance Might Stop the Next Lockdown”], I totally disagree about the total mess our national culture is now in.
Our problem is almost entirely the failure of the traditional “nuclear family,” and that got its start with the total disruption of U.S. society by World War II. I am not saying that what was done to produce the war effort was bad or wrong, but the effects on society were the most profound in our history.
