Changing Times


"Change" is the mantra of the day and change means making a difference. But "difference" is an insipid word for the cataclysmic changes that, from decade to decade and from generation to generation, have altered the way we think and behave. No aspect of life in this country -- our speech, our dress, our manners, music, literature, dancing, our expectations, the foods we eat, the concoctions that make us drunk, the modes of travel -- have been immune. Rip Van Winkle was small time. We’re in first place in the big leagues of change.

More Later,

Joe
