No more. It is all just so much tastless screaming and noise.

For those of us who are getting up in years...Alan,<br /><br />For those of us who are getting up in years we have seen the best of times and we are now going to witness the worst of times. Everything that we loved is dying around us. I saw that Pattie Paige died in January. That got me to listening to those great old line singers like Frankie Laine. When you listen to him and people like Jo Stafford you can’t prevent the overwhelming feelings of nostalgia. And realize even more fully just how degenerate our sad old world has become.<br /> Rich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-31330857536323531132013-02-20T06:21:22.020-08:002013-02-20T06:21:22.020-08:00Mr. C, although we may get to live beyond 78 years...Mr. C, although we may get to live beyond 78 years. The ability of many to remain productive does not go that far. If things like SS, Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance had never been invented, I dare say the world would look very different, and people would be more careful in their lives for the most part. Personal responsibility, lacking in many today, is a contributing factor in the moral decline. By the way, good post today.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203730159790557719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-85573503427556387492013-02-19T18:28:59.662-08:002013-02-19T18:28:59.662-08:00"What difference does it make?!" summed ..."What difference does it make?!" summed it up well.

I...Yes, Lime Lite, that's why I wrote the post. I usually leave morality to the clerics, but their voices seem muted today.

Everything that made America great is being flipped 180 degrees until Americans won't recognise their own country. Dr Ben Carson said in his now infamous speech in front of Obama, that Rome fell, even though it was thought to be unbeatable. It fell because of moral decay. And you are correct about the Department of Education. If you look at the Harvard entrance exam of 1859 then you'd struggle to answer a question. I couldn't answer many. I was quite embarrassed. And these were the entrance exams 150 years ago written by teens in school America is busy eating herself up from the inside and Obama is leading the way. The country is becoming a dumbed-down socialist embracing state. In other words, another failed state.Lime Litehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062140213877618320noreply@blogger.com
