With all the different people that co exist in our world why does this diverse group live the way we do. The fedoras, why when the whole world wears baseball caps, or nothing do some of us insist on wearing a style of hat that has been out of style for thirty years. When society in general has become one of me first and greed and no care for its fella man and no accountability for ones actions. Do we insist on being different and standing for certain standards , are we nuts. I used to feel that i was left behind, like a servant in an ancient anstrastal home waiting for the return of his master. I remember the culture shock coming from the country, a family farm that we had for 182 years and that old house where so many of my family had been born and died and some were buried in the orchard. Going to modern world in a , thank god a small city was like amish going to big city for me. Colour tv, never had one, cable tv wow more than three channels, buses, drugs, punks and a lot of indifference. Its a wonder that I made it, so the old music, the old cars, and the attitude helped me survive. There is a religious phrase live in this world but dont become part of it. I think most of us here, have built there own worlds, with their circle of friends and clothing, music, etc to hold together their sanity. I was in my haberdashery yesterday and he said too me , these young people think that is a swear word, only 3 customers call me that (haberdashery) you are the only one under 80. The general message of his conversion and mine, people today as a average dont have much class and dont care how they come across. The world changed and the future aint bright, now i dont want to appear doom and gloom for I have two girls and i and my wife have homeschool them and they hold doors for old ladies and they dont say the f.......... word. The eldest can sew and bake and is responsible and too smart actually. The youngest is full of pontential , but my wife and I are dinosaurs, one income, family store in business for 26 years and we just dont want the modern, two jobs, big house, divorce in five years and all the crap that goes with it, but its hard been a square nut in round peg world. This digest has helped me, I AINT ALONE. hee gauds.
