Never is a long time but we must never give in, NEVER surrender

Last Wednesday, I officially retired as an archaeologist. I had done it for 27 years in both the public and private sector and had seen it change a lot. Most of what is done in the U.S. is called “cultural resource management” (CRM), which has little to do with real archaeology anymore. It’s been co-opted by CRM contract firms, and extreme preservationists – similar to extreme environmentalists, in that they are anti-capitalist/anti-development – who couldn’t give a flying hoo hah for the archaeology. They’re in it for the money and to further their leftist agenda. And archaeology in academia is a really bad joke, driven by monumental egos and Marxism. Unfortunately, this is the case in many areas of business and life in modern day America. Ever since the appearance of the nefarious “progressive”, Colonel Edward Mandell House, and his sock-puppet, Woodrow Wilson, the left has incrementally undermined our free, capitalist, constitutional republic, seditiously replacing our individual freedoms with collectivist, big government regulatory and statutory oppression.
