The Mental TrickleDown

 

Exaggerated danger of MENTAL TrickleDown? No, I don't think so, and we should be alert to the dangers of growing up as a "Trickler". 

What America has become may very well be a prelude to something much worse. Losing its innocence has made it turn into something that looks very different from what it was.

From this image of former greatness to what? Well, as a mirror of what it used to be at a special historical moment it might turn into something like this:

These men are symbols of certain actions and ideologies which some find innocent, but which more and more see as a threat to everything that America used to be and which it should become in the future. After all, no country can sustain its image without rooting out what these images represent.
 

Certain individuals might love to see this image as the new Mount Rushmore which really is a potent symbol of what's going on in the USA right now. However, others find the very idea a deadly stab in the back of the USA they want to see in the future, namely the one that's not wrapped in "DIPS", "Insider tradings", sheer "bluff and theft".
