that—so the future has to be worse. Most likely involving robots … emoting and
plotting their revenge.
The future scares us and we wish it could be more like it used to be.
Therefore we freak out about change and demand tradition because it connects

This logical glitch is a pestilence in American politics. Conservative
politicians in particular pander to this notion; we must go back to the past.
There it’s better because _we_ were better.
Presumptive presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s punt on same-sex marriage is:

There’s more to this Long Beach, California, trio’s debut, released shortly after Nowell’s death in 1996, than white suburban punks imitating Jamaican ska music. The band comes up with great songs, notably the catchy MTV hit “What I Got”; spooky dub-reggae… |

Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil: Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture $4.64 This Clint Eastwood vanity-project was one of the biggest box office disappointments of 1997, despite a masterful performance by Kevin Spacey, Eastwood’s typically subtle direction and, to these ears anyway, one of the most satisfying collections of songs gathered in service of a film in many a year. It didn’t hurt that they were all penned by the late, great Johnny Mercer (a native of Savannah, G… |
