Lulu for president!

I'm 53, going on 21, and remember the society that was, and compared to what we're living in now, it had a lot going for it.

I've been saying for years that we're no longer producing any Alvin Yorks, Mother Theresas, Albert Schweitzers, Thomas Edisons, etc. The rule now is; conform, play it safe, stifle controversy, and for Gods sake, litigate frequently.

Society has lost a certain vitality that it once had, along with some of the minor aches and pains that went along with it.

On NPR this morning, on the way to work, I heard a brief story about how a movement to abolish alcaholic drinking is gaining popularity, along the lines of the anti-tobacco movement. In the minds of some, if enough laws are passed, and enough people who disagree with the bland common-denominator mentality are put away, then we'll all live happily ever after, by the time the credits are rolled, just before the TV dinner commercial.

Wasn't it Goethe who said that, given a choice between freedom and enforced order (tyranny), the majority would choose the latter? Or was it Groucho Marx? I forget. I'm still perplexed about that Count Chocula thing from the other thread.

I don't miss black & white TV, but the concept of integrity would be nice to have around again.

First of all i'm 14 so lets get that out of the way. I used to live in quebec and we did'nt have a computer,cable,mobile phones, we had one land phone (with a cord). Cause' my rents we're poor so we had the basics. But we did nearly everything you listen, only mom had constant tabs on me cause' shes over protective lol.
