A Serious Lengthy Memoir About U.S. Values

[[deleted user]]

Personally, I am closer than I want to admit to that old kicking-the-bucket time! But I started writing out some things for my children, and then turned it into this memoir. So the group can and should check out "WE'RE CRAZY!, A Memoir about U.S. Values" here on Goodreads, to discover enough discussion material for at least a year. It is a guidebook for our children and grandchildren, to make sure they understand the mess the seniors are leaving them. Getting back on track is going to require clearer thinking about values than their parents have had.

After a list of many of the questions that the book addresses in depth, the summary is, "Why compare your own answers with those in the book? Because the future of our nation depends on our values about these very subjects."

You can link to a longer description of "WE'RE CRAZY!" by putting that title in the block at the top of this page, and then clicking on the right block that comes up. This description directs readers to reading samples and to an extensive bibliography that is an education in itself. This is the book for those who want to think about where we are headed and what is important.

I don't know that the "seniors" have left a mess for the coming generations, not that it is the best if you are speaking politically. The coming generations are somewhat clueless...at least my stepson falls into that category. He takes everything at face value and doesn't seem to know how to think for himself. They are too dependent on technology and don't know how to talk to people

Well, I hope you read the book for at least a couple reasons. First, to see what a mess we ARE leaving for the coming generations, and then so you might see fit to buy a few copies for those like your stepson to read. You are right that they don't see the tsunami coming (and neither do the seniors).
