Josephson on Ethics of Youth

Talk about locking the barn door after the horse is out.

Can Josephson really be as surprised as all that? Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of history could have predicted the inevitable result to come from the brainwashing of two generations of spoiled children with relativistic ethics and the belief that their every subjective whim is divinely inspired.

From the Republican Congress’ override of President Truman’s veto of the McCarran-Walter Act to the me-first greed of Reaganism is a logical progression in which it is John Kennedy’s Pollyanna “Camelot” that is the aberration and not Richard Nixon’s completely amoral “success-at-any- cost ethic.”
