Yes, there is much about the past that strikes us today as primitive and even frightful, but there's also much that was good about days of yore. The simplicity of the past (along with the daily grind) has some appeal, especially when you consider how the advent of communications technology has made us more isolated as the world has become smaller. Forget about how in reality those cozy hearths were health- (and often life-) hazards, there's something to said about a family sitting in the fire glow, reading aloud from Mr. Dickens's latest by whatever light was available.Kathy Fischer-Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846116949645699035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-23043051003654437582016-03-22T09:02:41.356-07:002016-03-22T09:02:41.356-07:00We have turned into a bunch of softies, and it'...We have turned into a bunch of softies, and it's definitely showing in the election this year. I have watched a few reality shows and can't for the life of me understand twho is trying to keep up with the Kardashians and why, or the one that really confused me: who cared if Honey Boo Boo got cancelled. We're a sad lot, must say. People determine what's important these days by what is trending on Twitter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683064637626718318noreply@blogger.com
