- Turns out I only have one prominent historian for my second argument. What?? I had a million! But then they somehow leaked into my other arguments or were eliminated from the project... so now I'm searching for other recognised historians to accompany lonely old Roszak. Right now I'm looking into a historian called Os Guinness who is supposed to be ultra-conservative and anti-counterculture (sounds perfect... might have to refer to he neoconservatives though because I think he's a lot later but it works well because he's i the nineties so I can maybe talk about clinton/bush and the whole 'legacy of the sixties in politics' thing.)
- I'm struggling to pinpoint the projected legacy of the baby-boomer historians... they are so freaking indecisive! At the moment it looks like the generation gap... which makes sense because they were the youthful dissenters and their parents didn't "get" them. You know how it is
My blogs have been kind of mediocre lately... sorry sir! I'm actually doing work now so i don't have as much time to spend procrastinating on blogs. Perhaps that's a good thing.
Edit: Yep, turns out Os is ultra-conservative AND ultra-Christian, should slide in nicely with Roszak who is a moderate-conservative. He has an earlier work called "The Dust of Death: A Critique of The Establishment and The Counterculture and The Proposal For a Third Way" Oh wow... he really goes all out. Also, it was published in 1973... only 5 years after Roszak - so it's safe to say that they were reacting to similar external influences. Lucky I found him, my second argument was really starting to lose its focus.
