All of a sudden, there's a bunch of talk about working toward building new infrastructure....is the regeneracy that close?Advances Learning Centerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18391268092613222599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13643112.post-90275620610369565892008-10-01T16:22:00.000-07:002008-10-01T16:22:00.000-07:00Yes, we are in the Fourth Turning. The crisis has arrived. One major aspect of the 4T theory you missed is the boomer polarity--idealists from both right and left, both prone to extremism. During the crisis, this Prophet generation is held in check by the Artist and Nomad generations that precede and follow, respectively, the Prophet cohort. Both McCain and Obama represent these trends--see how they both represent either "working across the aisle" or "change you can believe in." We can get out of the crisis by drop kicking the Boomer false prophets and speeding up the change by focusing on redeveloping the economy from the ground up in a way that is environmentally sustainable and addresses inequality. A major focus on the green economy is the only way out. We need Artist money married to Nomad resourcefulness and a Millenial vision for a green future--all combined with good old American Common Sense. Boomers can join in, but they can not be trusted to run the show.Kennethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10477257570500197583noreply@blogger.com
