  The Loss Of Power and the Return Of The Angry White Man, 1960-1980

  by designs in

  1. social
  2. current

  author tom magstadt phd.

  who has written among other works- 'an empire if you can keep it' has been chronicling american trends for decades.. 'angry white guys: the roots of reactionary america' explores a specific period in american history, 1960-1980, the defeat of richard nixon to the election of ronald reagan.

  he takes as a contrast the cities of nagasaki and hiroshima, which were destroyed by nuclear bombs, and now thrive a industiral centers to cities like detroit which are on the verge of bankruptcy and asks- why.. the era of ike eisenhower seems tame and agreeable (if one ignors the racial subjugation) and seen through the author's eyes as one where democrats and republicans got along.

  This explains it...the Polyanna atmosphere in the US circa 1950-60.

  Well I think I'm getting closer to understanding where you're coming from. You know I can't say I have a lot of friends here but I know the few times I was dealing with something it was a great place to get feed back and I really appreciated the posters who acknowledged me.

  I guess I don't have a lot of expectations from anyone which works well for me, because then when I get noticed I'm pleasantly surprised.

  You know I have made a couple friends here. One person whose locale I noticed was the same area I grew up in. I contacted her and lo and behold we were in the same graduating class. Crazy, I know. But I found her picture in my yearbook. That was cool.

  Another poster lives in an area where a 'once close friend' who now shuns me, moved to. I contacted that person and wouldn't you know it, she knew her.

  I have also made some friends from attending an apostafest. Even though I don't see those folks anymore I see them here and feel a closeness to them.

  So it's all what you make of it. Good luck in whatever you do.

  i'm about 4 months into my fade- things were going ok at first.

  if i didn't get ready to go to the meeting or fs, neither did my family.

  recently, hubby has become more sensitive and now will take the family whether i go or not.

  4/1/1967 wt.

  for years, modern civilization has used the commercially available product known as toilet paper to cleanse one's rear posterior.

  it is a common practice that has permeated almost all** of the inhabited earth.

  i noticed that emma on jwn was from michigan.

  i am from mi now living in wa.

  Yes Stonewall, many paths have crossed on JWN I'm sure.

  On another hunch, I recently messaged someone who was from Florida and I wondered if she knew of a sister who had moved there. This sister was someone who we looked after and guided, she lived with us on and off and she shuns us now. So I messaged the JWNer and wouldn't you know it she knew her.
