The Price of Freedom

[MagnetMan]

The American Revolution isolated the nation from its European heritage for eight generations. The majority of new immigrants ere from the lower classes. Few noble families came. The pioneering result in the New World produced a remarkably wealthy technocratic society which is basically rootless and migratory, with little respect for traditional family values and love of estate.

Love of money in the bank does not equal reverence for cultural tradition. It takes tens of generations to build up a noble viewpoint that sees wealth in character beyond the dollar. Americans need to reconnect in a far more familiar way with their ancient Old World lineage and draw on that wealth of ancestral investment. In this way they can become true leaders of the New Age.

meanwhile it looks as if "old europe" (especially eastern) is totally exhausted and their youth only capable to re-import capitalism american style.
our connections and friendships may have been an illusion only.

where thoughts and spirits may be able to reunite, personal meetings are reserved to and restricted by "closed circles".

[MagnetMan]

America is basically a vast cultural desert
of tract homes
trailer parks
and urban blights
there is very little to inspire its own frenetic youth
no reverence for ancestral craftsmanship
no great castles
no grand cathedrals
just giant malls
video arcades
and endless mediocrity

whatever exhausts European youth
and their idolization of American chic
or however much they might take it for granted
the relics of the past that surrounds them
carries its own brand of cultural influence
and cannot be entirely denied

[lavender1]

while earth
moon and planets
were conquered
from there
interpersonal communications
almost completely
stopped
