To quote one Geddy Lee who was quoting someone else, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Just remember that a hair over 200 years ago…that is a very short time…this country did not exist, there was no electricity or running water, and people used a little hole in the backyard as a restroom.
The rate of change in the last two centuries has been astounding and makes me wish I had a time machine to see the year 2210.
