I miss America

I think it was[Browning]who said[You Can't Go Home Again] and he was absolutely right, for me it's the changes to the city I grew up in that hurt the most, as it may be for many of you, to not see the buildings that were apart of your youth can be hard, I was born and raised in[D.C.] but it long ago ceased to be my home city.
 
I, for one, have no desire for the so-called "good old days". My life is so much better now in so many ways than it ever could have been then My medical problems alone - I have had cancer 3 times. In all liklihood, I woukld never have survived the first (lung) cancer then - most people didn't. Life was certainly not better for minorities. Life is about change. Nothing stays the same. Those who resist adaption will be left way behind.

My dad missed the sound of the horse and buggy and the way kerosene lamps made shadows on the wall. Same old stuff. Guess former cave people missed not having to clean everything because back then everything was made of dirt.

it's all about setting the perspective... and then lowering the bar.
