And before I get set upon, the whole generational thing? It’s as much an issue in America as Britain. The problem with becoming a global society is that too many people still live in the mindset that nations are “islands unto themselves” and that way of thinking seems way too resilient to simply fade away. Unfortunately, a lot of historical revisionism and high-octane nationalism in the latter years of the 20th century created generations of morons who today want to believe that they can somehow bring back a “golden age.”
