Who is we. And exactly what are you planning to take back? And how? And how much are you planning to take back? For example, I know some people who would like to return to the days when school teachers routinely applied the rod to discipline students who they felt were disresectful or not working hard. Would you advocate going back to that? I know some people who want to return to the days when there were no laws banning racial or sexual discrimination in business, and who a business hired or served was entirely up to them. Would you advocate going back to that? I, too, and concerned about the direction some of our society is taking. But generic calls to "take it back" are so much hot air. What are your specific complaints, and what exactly do you want to take back, and to what?
