Huxley interview

The interview conducted with Huxley was intriguing as i saw it. I think that Mr. Huxley made some very good points. I believe that he is correct in assuming that over population, over organization, and technology will one day come back to haunt our world. However, I believe that he lacks faith in the American will to preserve democracy. The proof lies within history. Simply look back in time to the things that Americans have done to preserve democracy, including the war for independence, as well as things such as the Marshall Plan during the Cold War. America and democracy have always gone hand in hand, and I do not think that is ever going to change, most certainly not in the next century.
The human individual will always remain. In the United States we are brought up on individual values and taught tolerance towards those who have other values. I believe that Huxley was right when he said that education is the way to maintain these values. In an age run by technology education is the way to maintain the individual and individual values. If the public becomes ignorant to current issues, or buys in to all of the inaccurate information fed to them by politicians then their freedoms will slowly slip away from them. If America's destiny is to become totalitarian, it will not fulfill that destiny for many years to come.
