Diana West sees a US filled with middle-age guys playing air
guitar and thinks "No wonder we can't stop Islamic
terrorism." She sees Moms Who Mosh and wonders "Is there a
single adult left anywhere?" But, the grown-ups are all
gone. The disease that killed them was incubated in the
sixties to a rock-and-roll score, took hold in the seventies
with the help of multicultralism and left us with a nation
of eternal adolescents who can't decide between "good" and
"bad", a generation who can't say "no". From the inability
to nix a sixteen year-old's request for Marilyn Manson
concert tickets to offering adolescents parentally-funded
motel rooms on prom night to rationalizing murderous acts of
Islamic suicide bombers with platitudes of cultural
equivalence, West sees us on a slippery slope that's lead to
a time when America has forgotten its place in the world.
In The Death of the Grown-Up Diana West serves up a
provocative critique of our dangerously indecisive world
leavened with humor and shot through with insight.
