Amusing Myself
Okay, here are some links that collectively illustrate the state of the world we all live in, and much some things have changed from that mystical time known as "the good ol' days"...
The commentary alone makes this a "must-see". It's really interesting to look back and how different the meanings of slang was not so long ago. Lois Lane and her robot adventure and the Archie & Betty one made me choke laughing.
I believe that the condition of any society makes itself known through the arts - and then lives on through pop culture. Each generation expresses itself and reacts to the social climate in a way unique to it.
We are a culture picking through the trash of decades past, looking for something valuable mistakenly thrown away that we can build on. This is my interpretation -- through art & commentary (and the occasional amusing link) -- of the decline of a civilisation that started drawing flies quite a while back.
