A track where America once again leads all of the world's economies in
everything it does. A track where America's focus swings back to
dominance in science, technology and engineering while putting away
religious fundamentalism, xenophobia, rejection of science. A track
before the country was politically divided. A track before anyone
thought that fighting wars in Vietnam or Iraq were a good idea or
possibly an economic benefit.
You want the 1950s? Before Vietnam was Korea. Women stayed in the
kitchen and guys put grease in thier hair. And the far right fought
against racial equality instead of gay rights.
Rejection of science seems to be a property of religious
fundamentalism. That and xenophobia have always been with us.
Studies now show that conservative thinkers have trouble with the
notion that there's more than one right way to do something. They've
always been with us and they always will.
