Why so many gloom and doomers on this site

If you are saying that we have to make the best of what we have now, I'm in complete agreement with that. If you are saying we should all do our individual best to make what we have better, again, I'm in complete agreement with that. But what pissed me off was your statement that you are "annoyed" by us old farts complaining about how much better it used to be. It was and that was a fact. As to being lectured about history, my experience is that people do the "yeah, yeah, I get it" when you bring up learning from history and then proceed to ignore it. It is true that if you are in a leaky boat, your only hope of salvation is to bail faster than the water runs in. Maybe we all have to bail faster.

Well said, I apologize for being disrespectful in that way. I totally agree most people think casually about history and don't think deeply about how important it is and how it can apply and help with current problems. Glad we're on the same page friend :thumbsup::usflag:
