"Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead."
If there was a name for this current generation it would most probably be described as "Woke" which covers a multitude of sins. I think I prefer the atmosphere of the hippie generation - you know.......love, fun and rock n roll" but hold the happy pills.
