Letter sparked nostalgia about past

Rusty Washum’s letter was a bit of nostalgia for me. I remember going on bike rides for miles with my friends. The greatest fun was when we would see a coyote in the desert and with

a whoop we would chase him. They always got away but we had fun. Unfortunately the kids of today can’t relate to the freedom we enjoyed in a more structured society. To them it is just an old man reminiscing about a fantasied past.

Since the time of Roosevelt, the progressives among us have been busy to free us from restrictive rules that restrain our carnal natures, Rom 8:57. Once upon a time it was considered to be noble to be self-sufficient, and now it is considered to be praiseworthy to get all we can from the public trough and let society (all of us) pay the bill as society degenerates into the collectivist mediocrity that Rusty identified.

The word peaceful used to mean with no harm. Now I read of peaceful demonstrations that sent only 17 policemen to the hospital and incidentally a few businesses were destroyed and looted. This doublespeak is corrupting the language so that communication suffers, who needs rules anyway?

The coming election will have life-changing results and through it all the Fed will save society as long as they are able, and then what? The progressives have taken a noble sounding title but if you remove the doublespeak it is better described as regressive, Prov 14:34
