Today, American teenagers have epidemic rates of emotional problems. Where did they come from? What changed from 100 years ago?
Yes. Because all of the small indigineous bare-breasted heathen communities of this planet were obviously fraught with emotional instability before European cultures assimilated them.
I thought the problem with Mars was the geodynamic thing with the molten core that forms a magneosphere that would prevent solar winds from blowing away an atmosphere?
That's not really an issue addressed by the article. But if we were to one day to add atmosphere to Mars, it would bleed away slowly over thousands/millions of years. So it's no necessarily impractical (if you have the means).
Is anyone doing anything proactve to stop these blantant removal of freedoms?
Not much. At least there're prominent figures speaking out against them now, which is more than can be said when they passed the Patriot Act. Back then there was such a ridiculous amount of nationalism going about you couldn't even give the president's picture a disapproving glance without everyone coming down on you.
I'm not so sure Marx was right about religion being the opiate of the masses...I think it's a high standard of living. As long as that's maintained, the American people would probably welcome another Hitler in power.
