Unfortunately, he has deviously moved to Live Journal to avoid our evil scheming. Go there to read his incoherance from now on, or to contact this horrible man. As for his other items, some remain, but we can't reccomend you look at them.
So many people ... continue to claim that the world was a better place when they were young.
I can't believe that. I must believe that the people of the world are an improving lot, that the natural evolution of civilizations ... moves toward the betterment of the world. For every time a better way is found, the people will naturally gravitate in that direction while failed experiments will be abandoned.
Because for change to be lasting among reasoning creatures, that change must be for the better.
Nostalgia is a necessary thing, I believe, for a way for all of us to find peace in that which we have accomplished, or even failed to accomplish. At the same time, if nostalgia precipitates actions to return to that fabled, rosy painted time, particularily in one who believes his life to be a failure, than it is an empty thing, doomed to produce nothing but frustration and an even greater sense of failure.
Even worse, if nostalgia throws barriers in the path towards evolution, then it is a limiting thing indeed.
