William Strauss and Neil Howe wrote a great book in 1997 called THE 4TH TURNING. It suggests that approximately every 80 years, the USA goes through a major change. As examples, they cite the American Revolution, the American Civil War, and WW II. We are overdue.

Just what i thought, charles. By their reckoning, our 4th Turning started about 2008 w the housing bubble and credit collapse. If so, that would put us squarely at the height of the 20 year Crisis cycle.
