There are a lot of polls and research that show Americans are worried. Things like world conflicts, higher gas prices and natural disasters (just to name a few) are unsettling us. Americans are seeking reassurance. The nostalgic footage featured in “Then and Now” is engaging and reminds people of simpler times. Someone once told me, “When times are tough, the world looks better through the rear-view mirror.” “Then and Now” taps into that aspect of human nature.
World conflicts and high gas prices and natural disasters, oh my!
But you know what makes it better? Thinking about better times. Simpler times. Times when the darkies let us take our oil from under their sand. (They probably stole it in the first place, anyway.) When only dirty hippies talked about pollution. When gas was ten cents a gallon, just like Gawd Hisself intended.
Only beany-wearing eggheads want “solutions.” They’re the same ninnies who point out that high gas prices, world conflicts, and natural disasters can all be connected by the fact that people are burning fossil fuels at faster and faster rates. They’ll want us to do things like drive less, and drive smaller cars, and put solar panels on our houses and buy strange looking light bulbs. They’re just a bunch of spineless wimps. And probably Communists, too.
I say, buy that big-block V8! Put the hammer down and roll right over those tiny little cars! It’s your right. As an American. Because I don’t listen to my head, or my heart. I listen to my gut. And my gut’s hungry.
