Young people are thinking for themselves?  They are?   

Young people are the ones most likely to crumble under peer pressure.  Young people are the ones most likely to parrot what they have been told by the media and entertainment industries.  It is one reason why advertising is geared to them...it is relatively easy to tell them what they think they want...and they will buy the product and the concept.

And although you refer to your book often and claim pre VII is the fear to be avoided...Perhaps the fear that is being inculcated into them now is what should really be avoided - the fear of bucking the system that offers such pressure, the fear that to truly think for themselves will ostracize them, and the fear of a secular world bent on obliterating Truth & belief that does not line up appropriately with its agenda.

What say you?  Although it doesn't fit your narrative.....
