[quote=CONCHO]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.
Indeed, huge changes in 200 years. What does the future hold? I don’t know but I’ve always been a fan of American artist Thomas Cole’s “The Course Of Empire” paintings.[/quote]
This is getting to be a good thread, enjoyed the video and the art.April 1, 2010 at 9:38 AM #534087NotCrankyParticipant[quote=CONCHO]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.

People have been making that same chicken little arguement since before my grandparents were born…The world is changing… What to do?!?!?
Deal with it. Adapt and survive.[/quote]
I agree.
Better to embrace change than resist and feel bitter about.
[quote=TexasLine]The Whole World is Changing….right now…in front of our eyes. It’s happening very quickly.
Conservatives warned of this and liberals beckoned it.
[/quote]Since you made this political, I will feel free to answer in that vein.
Liberals tend to want to change things for a better future. The intention is there, but the results don’t always work out. But it’s a process of continual change and improvements. We don’t know what the future will bring. All we can do is try to make the future better than today.
Conservatives always seem to find some comfort zones and don’t want change.
Fiscally, they always want to cut taxes. And socially they want to go back to the time of their grand parents. It seems like conservatives want to go back to the social economic structure of the 1920s while keeping the modern tools we have today.
Over history, empires rose and fell. Great families and wealth faded away. Ethnic groups were wiped out or assimilated by more numerous invaders. But overall, our world today is better than it was 100 years ago — at least for humans.
