| 18th | Victor Sklyarov | sklyarov1953@list.ru | I found this site glimpsing references to George Orwell. All that I read here directly refers to my own country - Russia. I think you would be a success if you publish it in Russia. I share your attitude and estimates though I must be inattentive and couldn't see the way out of this senile situation. It is really world-wide.
Wishing you success and prosperity in this topsy-turvy world, |

I would like to congraulate you for your theoretical views on the "decaying" society; I my self share some views. I'll be honest, I only gave a quick glance at your work; however, regarding the Mexican article... with all due respect: please study a bit of basic psychology and know your history. Have you read "The People's History of the United States"? Remember that history- like the one reflected on your article- is written by winners. You dare call a hungry, impoverished, [illigal] immigrant (from the poorest parts of whichever country the immigrant comes from) an invader? I myself have lived in Mexico and west Europe... these parts of world have a differentbn view of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
With such an informal "comment" of mine I do say: Be careful what you post; decadence comes from weakness, weakness comes from ignorance. Yours truly: Lic. Albert Koestler Baptista (UNAM). | |||

| I am amazed at the expierience that brought you to a childhood awareness of the influence and corruptive abilities of peer pressure .
For amazingly I too share exactly the same circumstance in my youth that as well led me to that same epiphany. Not similar but exact!! Upon further perusal of your text I find great comfort in knowing I am not alone in the realisation that it is important to be intensely vigilant as to the rearing of children ... For I have had the great misfortune to have lost the war as to dealing with the "Enlightend" ones who think that "Feelings and esteem" are the overriding factors and reasonability and accountability are optional in life.. While I hate to be politically incorrect,it would seem that the emasculation of the western world, through browbeating ,guilt,.. and stresses that create absentee fathers.. Has given power to the gender that would, but for the rare exceptions, live by the directives of their hormonal influences.. I will be paying close attention to your efforts and find that your scientific approach to the status quo is indeed encouraging in this joke of a world of anarchy we dwell in.. With my deepest thanks.. | |||

| Dear Mr. Atkinson, I am writing so to thank you for creating this website. I have only read certain sections of your online book, but agree with almost everything that you have written, even though I am currently living in America. Based on pure conjecture (having never been to Australia myself) I would probably say that the process of disintegration of more rapid in America then in Australia. The reason I say this is that America has no root with the past, while at least in name Australia has a link to the Crown and British History (even though there is likely a growing sentiment in the public to entirely repudiate this connection with the Crown). | |||

I honestly believe your view of this civilization's decline is all in your perception, as I have had these impressions as well and I believe they are based on the effects of personal perception change due to aging and a slight feeling of unfullfilment. Nothing more. Just look around you. Nothing is declining so much as just changing. It's through these changes that people realize what is necessary. This means that what is going on now is necessary and can not really be condemmed. The huge picture suggests a process beyond conception of which we are all involved and to form negative conclusions about it is a sure road to a miserable exsistence.
I hope you find your happiness. It is our natural tendency, you know. | |||

| You are right on the money about the shallowness of the Toastmasters...I attended two meetings , thought about joining, but said, "no thanks." I'm glad I didn't....I had never considered any philisophical reason why they didn't appeal to me until now. Thanks. | |||

| I am in my early 60s and have difficulty convincing people that my deep disaffection with contemporary decision making and the levels of official incompetence consequently exposed is anything other than a consequence of my age. However, I have become convinced, by several different indices, that my suspicions regarding the (lack of) quality of contemporary governance and decision-making in general, and yours, sir, as laid out on the Internet, are indeed valid. | |||

| From what I have read of your work I am very impressed. I have downloaded much of it and will digest this soon. Most, if not all, contravenes the perverse material I absorbed at university and the school of social work. | |||

I have just for the first time googled on to your site.
I'm still reading but I can say for sure that you are gem, an unusual happening, a bijou and all that. I'll email again this evening and later tomorrow. I would like to hear from you with some comment on the Iraq war. I will let you in on my feeling later today.
Best to you, | |||

Andrew Wetzel I found your web site very interesting and encouraging. I thought I was the only one who thought like that.
Cheers, Andrew http://www.users.tpg.com.au/awetzel/homepage.htm | |||
