We have irrevocably passed the point of a return to normalcy.

It's true we are not like our founding fathers. We are not as brave or as fit. We lack military readiness. The real problem is how different we are mentally from our founding fathers. Specifically, the founders were warriors and philosophers. They thought, wrote, and spoke differently than we do. Their idea of literacy is different than ours because it included calligraphy. Training the hands (the beginning of martial discipline). They were steeped in classical tradition which is an improvement over our bald illiteracy. We don't have somebody like George Washington today. The writing that was produced at that time is our enduring legacy. Perhaps current events will force capable people to reveal their true powers, whereas today these people seem invisible. If we had one man as good as the least our founders, he would be our leader.
