Does anyone know how many times Glen Beck has cried on national tv? The dude needs to be medicated.
I can't believe people actually take him seriously. I really can't. I have facebook friends who are fans of his and I really can't wrap my head around it.
Nastalgia for times that did not exist in the fashion that we pretend is pretty common. Using any reasonable, Western, educated moral guide you wish, today is undoubtedly the greatest time to be alive in human history.
No, it isn't....but it isn't the worst, yet.
The "good old days" DID exist. There was something good about every age.
No, things weren't perfect, they never were and never will be. But in over 60 years I have seen America get worse in most ways and better in damn few.
For instance, I wouldn't trade my childhood in the 50's for today's super-protected, constrained, short, regimented childhood of today.
I can't beleive that people take comedy seriously or think that moive stars are really very smart people politcally.They certtainly can't rerlate to the common man and if people look they don't want to really;which is why they lead such lavish life styles.Most of them are self medicated it seems.

Comparing the best of those days to the worst of today means nothing. There are plenty of good parents whose children do not have a "super-protected, constrained, short, regimented" childhood. How about comparing the worst childhood from the 50s to the best childhood of today?
Yes, it usually does all come down to what you remember as a child and the experiences you had then. I was a child in the 60's and it was great, but not so great for my older cousins who were loosing friends in Vietnam and worrying about being drafted themselves. Not so great for some of my playmates whos parents were abusive alcoholics in a time when nobody wanted to get involved with other peoples "family matters",and not so great for those people loosing sleep over a little situation in Cuba, etc.
Our perspectives are so limited aren't they?
