The Road Ahead -- America's Creeping Revolution
John T. Flynn (1949)
My
purpose in writing this book is to attempt to describe the road along
which this country is traveling to its destruction. Human societies come
under the influence of great tides of thought and appetite that run
unseen deeply below the surface of society. After a while these powerful
streams mass along with them without the individuals in the mass being
aware of the direction in which they are going. Up to a certain point it
is possible to resist these controlling tides and to reverse them, but a
time comes when they are so strong that society loses its power of
decision over the direction in which it is going. I believe we are now
moving along under the dominion of such tides and that all things we do
to deal with our accumulating perils are futile because we do not
understand the tides nor the direction in which they are carrying us. I
believe that we still have in our hands the means of checking this
onrush to disaster.......
