Happy times are all alike, nestled in the comfortable batting of peace, growth, and stability. Every unhappy time is unhappy in its own way.

America has been blessed because, since the end of the Great Depression, our nation has experienced only two periods of deep discontent that lasted a decade or more. The first was the 1970s. We are living through the second today. Which was worse?

The 1970s were worse by far. Just look at the cars of that era, if you don't believe me.

Oh yeah? Just look at the prices those cars bring in today. You are in the minority on dissing the 70's. I thought they were fine.



I think today is worse. The economy is far worse today. The govt' is actively destroying jobs with Zerocare and regulations. The govt' is actively raising fuel prices. The govt' is actively pushing people onto welfare programs.

Sadly, there is no political solution on the horizon vis a vis the disaster known as Zero.
