view of society

The conservative trend in society is nothing short of driving in the rear-view mirror: distorted views of where you've been with no idea of where you're heading.
To me, this indicates people have either (a) lost their faith in their ability to collectively control where they're going (a failure of our "democratic" system) and/or (b) become aware of something terribly awful, given up hope, and chosen to revel in media-romanticized memories on their way to the equivalent of an elephant graveyard.

As usual, I am in neither of these camps. I firmly believe it is in our power to influence where we are going - and how we get there. (I just don't know how or where to start.)
