I agree, one problem though is that knowledge of how society used to operate before the cold war is passing out of living memory, its hard to convince people to end "the emergency" when they have known nothing else in their life.

It should be fairly clear to those who have known nothing else that this isn't an emergency, it's normality.

That is my point, since this is now "normal", to propose any changes to it is new uncharted territory, therefore harder to convince people to change, and not a return to "normalcy". It is a radical new world, and most people are not radical.
