I’ve been doing some thinking. I know. As my wife says, “That is dangerous.”

However, I have lived quite a while and I’ve seen a lot of changes over those years. You might find this strange, but when I was in grade school, passenger jetliners were something talked about in Popular Mechanics. Few figured we would soon be flying coast to coast non-stop in about 6 or 7 hours. Would you believe now, a person can get on a plane in New York and fly non-stop nowadays. I actually looked up the travel time but forgot. In the days of the prop jobs, a flight between California and Hawaii was just about as far as a plane could go.

Color TV existed but it was very rare and flesh tones were often yellow or green. The grass in the football and baseball games was generally some shad of gray or even black. A color TV, at best, was about 60 or 70 pounds. It was just as well. There were very few color shows in color.

It was a time before movie ratings. All movies had to be decent. Now we have a rating. And of course, very few of them are rated G. Those that are rated PG are always pushing the envelope. On the other hand, some producers seek the R rating in order to draw more to the box office. I guess some call that progress.

Then we came up with cable, which allowed the R and X rated into our homes. I am sure there are those who call that progress.

The schools can no longer teach creationism. Instead, they must teach the religion of atheism. To be sure, the country is full of those who think of this as progress. To me, it is more like progressing in the wrong direction.

The newest, the most talked about progress these days, well, let’s just do away with the Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights. It is just a bunch of old antiquated ideas anyway that were thought of centuries ago. All they do is get in the way of the new ideas. It would seem that all they do is get in the way of progress. They are simply out of phase with the bright new idea of communism.

And of course, we have changed who makes the decision. The mother can chose if the baby lives or dies instead of the baby.

How horrible the progress.
