		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re lucky, you find out about a cultural shift before it&#8217;s over.  I feel certain that many people living in the 1920s were aware that a cultural shift was going on, especially if they lived in Europe.  Quite a few Americans are now aware that a cultural shift is occurring in the US.  It [...]]]></description>
