True.
IMHO, Strauss and Howe build a sufficient case for their theory to at least consider it 'potentially viable'. They overstate it, but I see sufficient foundation to think that they are probably onto
something. I think this not just because of the periodicity of their 'crisis' scenario, but because recognizable periodicities also exist between the other stages of their proposed cycle.
