I like Philip Dick...I`ll check that out.

As for the "hero" generation, it isn`t the same as what we normally consider to be a hero. The book actually is pretty interesting, as I read it. What they`re saying is that before we can have heroes, we need a crisis, often anarchy. It`s the response to that collapse of values, morality, and institutions that creates a war or other crisis.

Because of the call to action, as in all of history, heroes are "made." Consider the attitude that swept the country following 9/11. It didn`t matter if you were smart or not, educated or not---everyone came together with a sense of community. It didn`t last, but mostly because the crisis was very small (historically speaking).

Try not to pre-judge the concept of the generational mood until you`ve had a chance to read their arguments. I did the same, and it turns out I was thinking WAY too small. The book is looking at macro trends and cycles that go back thousands of years, and placing all of American history into those cycles.

"American History" in this context includes the development of the concepts in Britain and Europe, and how those concepts in their own cycles migrate to the US, eventually forming what we now consider to be the United States.

Hello everyone, this is my first post.

I`ve finally made the time to pursue an idea I`ve had for awhile now. I created a website in 2004 and in most search engines the page comes up in the first or second position. My concern is the domain name is very close to a SNL skit done in the 70`s and I think a well know personality owns the original property now.

My questions is how should I proceed in finding out if I can continue using the domain name before the ugly shows up. It`s been 4 years since I purchased the domain name and nothing has happened yet....but that doesn`t really mean much.

I have planned on making a sizable investment in taking the site to the next level. Who can you trust to research this issue and what guarantees do you have that the info you`ve paid for is really the truth?
