Or, are we steeped in a conservative brew of egotism, arroganev and pusillanimity, at raid to look Ix'hind the iron cu rtain of conservatism for fear th at we will find that in reality we are only conservative, stupid, conceited an«l educated crack-pots, adhereing to an established inability to change, leaving the destiny of the coming generations to follow our blundering barbarous w arlike ways into a diabolical progrom ?" This is the question to which we m ust give unbiased, intelli gent and careful thought (as thought is the gateway to knowledge, and knowledge has no term ination). O ur loved ones’ destiny is at stake, and in our hands YOU and I. WE FATHERS AND M OTHERS are the custodians of this precious trust. O ur duty is obvious. W ill we shirk that duty, as it has always been shirked, or will we rectify this grave e rro r? "I have the positive solution to do so.
