troglodytism

Troglodytism did not extend over the West Indies generally. On many of the Lesser Antilles and Virgin Islands caves are entirely lacking, while in other places they were not suitable for dwellings.

Our era is supposed to be the 1950s all over again. Indeed, we are experiencing anew many of the pleasures and benefits of that excellent decade: a salubrious prudery, a sensible avariciousness, a healthy dose of social conformity, a much-needed narrowing of minds, and a return to common-sense American political troglodytism.
