    I don’t think development is moving too fast, per se.

    My concerns are all the resources being diverted without our consent, and how it’s being shoved down everyone’s throat.

    But, since “young adults are more likely to believe…”, I suppose our fate is sealed. The Reagan administration started the ball rolling on dismantling public education, and now we have going on three generations who don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.
