Those young people think that they are big free thinkers, but they are lemmings. Quite a few of them, probably, knew the song, but they kept their mouths shut - fearing that the crowd would go after them, and they would get laughed out of the sophisticated company, and that girls wouldn't like them.... g/ng

We come out of a generation where Sunday School was a common experience. All gone now. I raised my kids secular. We really need "history of the Bible" taught as a Liberal Arts course in College. I took that at SMU in my 2nd year.

It's like these people on the TV show and I have NOTHING in common. It's like they came from some alien culture that grew up completely independently from the one I come from. They have no roots, no heritage, nothing connecting them to the past.

It's the Dumbed-Down generation. Since the Department of Education was established under Carter, education has gone straight downhill. It's also why today's music, for the most part, sucks - no knowledge of where it all came from and no ability to pioneer new, fruitful paths.

Secondarily, multiculturalism has splintered society rather than bringing us all around our common, shared interests.
