The Ghosts of Elections Past

Having had paid attention in History and Western Civ, as well as to current events, I know that there have been cultural swings, back and forth, toward, and away from, the Puritanical. (How many commas was that? Seemed like a lot...) I just never thought I would see so many in such a short time. (Commas, as well as cultural shifts...)
One thing that is certain, and historically demonstrated, is that each time there is a shift, the amorphous "center" ALWAYS shifts farther away from what the conservatives are supporting.
