There have been some leaps and bounds in certain areas like the internet for sure, but as far as obesity and diabetes there was definitely less of it then. At least from my perspective. We do have the capabilities to make a great world. Peace and good health for all would be wonderful.

Yea, I'm thinking of Kenny-what's-his-name's great song, "Dont' Blink." <br /><br />I appreciate his optimism - particularly the 'greening' part, yet remain skeptical. I'm sorely disappointed in our world "today"; mostly, it seems values I used to hold dear just don't hold water to lots of folk. I can't tell you how many times I've thought to myself, <br />'I'm so glad mother or dad isn't around to witness this today.'<br /><br />But hey, I still love the copper penny ... and still bend down to retrieve the occasional orphan! LOL.<br /><br />Thanks for a really interesting post!<br /><br />Hugs from Arizona,<br />MyraMevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-5501989931699912112014-02-19T21:29:28.956-05:002014-02-19T21:29:28.956-05:00First, LOVE the new script. 2nd, this is one of th...First, LOVE the new script. 2nd, this is one of the most thoughtful posts that I've had opportunity to read ~ WOW truly insightful. <br />Jack, I'm frightened for where we are as a country, reading your commentary is a relief. As far as the penny, yes. Agree that now that Canadians have done that and they are good with it, we might follow. It is Ok with me. Again, this is profound.

So unless we do a complete change and do it soon, I don't see that happening.<br /><br />I do agree with your thought about the penny being eliminated and having 95 cent sales. I also do believe cash might be a thing of the past. I was at the store the other day paying for something and was punching in all the buttons for our preferred savings, this and that. I came to the screen to pay and didn't find a button for cash (which is what I was paying with this time). I asked the clerk what I punch for cash and she said "you don't push anything for cash". I hadn't paid with cash in such a long time (usually my debit card) I almost forgot how to pay with cash :)<br /><br />interesting how the next 36 years will be. I'm thinking I probably won't be around towards the end of it to see how it all plays out.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-38899007913566701872014-02-19T09:29:20.346-05:002014-02-19T09:29:20.346-05:00Interesting post Jack.

For instance the trash situation and the recycling. In our neighborhood I am the only one who puts recycle bin out. They drive a big truck down our street every week to pick it up. That bin is mostly full every week with just two people. It boggles my mind that people don't care when they make it so easy for them.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.com
