Red - never knew you had Aspergers.

I think you see the "get off my front yard, you young whipper snappers!" attitude more on a relatively anonymous forum like TOTV than you do in person.

My attitude has always been that we can only live for today and go forward. But many people as they age need to feel that things were "better in the day". It's part of life and aging called the reflective period. I personally don't mind it as long as it doesn't become mean spirited.

If you go back into the archives of TOTV you can find articles about such things as: Why don't men remove their hats in a restaurant, don't they have an manners; Rap music sucks; They don't make good movies anymore; etc. etc.

I just think things change, not better, nor worse. Just change.
