    At that's what at its heart, makes it sad. Longing for the past because it seemed better more so cause it seemed "simpler" is an awful empty philosophy, but it has become a mantra of how our culture lives.

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    Nostalgia for the future is utopia..and also unrealistic. Work and hope for a better future will bring it closer.
