Here I was chastising the "whipper snapper" for not noticing how much the SAME things are/have been... and you are simultaneously waxing nostalgic for the "good old days"... :-)

Okay, so he's not going after "the mob" in this round of puritanism, but these Secs (sex?) of State/Homeland Security poobah, etc... always find some type of puritanical bandwagon to jump on. Some wholesome, pollyanna, white bread cause to pose next to the children, puppies and apple pie...

As I dust off more and more of my old CD's (okay, so they're re-issues), the more I have come to the conclusion that we suffered from Chicken Lickin syndrome in the '60's... Go tell Goosey Loosey there Ashton, THE SKY IS FALLING... Mayhaps? Just substitute terrorism for communism and the schoolkids get to waste ten minutes a week hiding under their desks.
I really WANT to wax nostalgic about some decade/epoch in my life, but they've all pretty much sucked politically. Adlai died when I was 4...

What in the hell am I talking about?
