what happened?

After the Second World War, husbands and wives were now in the work force serving side by side as cogs in the wheels of the gears of the machine while their children were left to be raised by the state rather than the village. The organic family structure was replaced by a mechanical system and children were taught at a very young age that they: “…must lead their own independent lives outside of the old bonds of family, tribe, religion, order and class, and you must do this within the new guidelines of rules which the state, the job market and the bureaucracy lay down.”-Ulrich Beck. Market values trumped family values and community responsibility was usurped by allegiance to Big Brother. We were subversively and cohearsivley forced into being loyal subjects to a regime dedicated to corporate hegemony and control of world trade, sucked into a vortex of power and greed, a black hole spinning out of control around the bowl and down the hole, spiraling ever closer to the depths of tyranny. The baby boomer generation was the beginning of the new mechanical consciousness, fulfillment of the prophesy of the coming anti-christ alluded to in the Bible, Plato’s Republic, and George Orwell’s 1984. As the baby boomers plugged into the machine, generation x plugged in the television set and digested lethal doses of poison for the minds of the masses as we, the second generation of orphans indoctrinated by Father Sam in his religion of mass consumerism, and maniacal individuality, sacrifice our children on the altar of convenience in the name of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (safety, comfort, and security). We’ve neglected generation X; we’re aborting generation Y, what is to become of generation Z?
