In Reply to: Some thoughts caused by Ultradog MN post about the SR-71. posted by JD Seller on October 08, 2016 at 20:03:53:

I don't buy onto the thinking that USA is done. There are challenges and there have always been challenges. Great Depression, Wars, Jimmy Carter years with run away inflation. In hind sight you can always say but we fixed those because and today is different. But when those events were happening no one new what the fix was. They just figured it out understanding the realities of that time period. The fix for those issues was not in the past.

Every generation thinks the next generation is a bunch of idiots and screwing up the world. Parents of baby boomer kids thought that for sure and now the adult baby boomers think the same of their kids and grandkids.

Our economy is changing. It will be different than it has been but that has always been the case. Manufacturing is down but technology is up. In 1900 people left farming for manufacturing jobs in the cities. I imagine that caused a lot of conversation about how the world is going to heck. People are now leaving manufacturing and working on technology. The USA leads the world in technology. Most of this is focused around electronics but it is finding ways to use electronics for real world needs. When I got my smart phone 5 years ago I thought why do I need that thing? My flip phone does everything I need it to do. Now that I have my smart phone I and understand all it can do and how to use it to make my life easier I love it.

Tomorrow always looks bad because it is unknown. We try and judge tomorrow based on history. If things didn't change we wouldn't have history because tomorrow is the same as yesterday. Tomorrow is for sure different but that doesn't make it bad.

Just to put out a reference point I am 52 years old and I am also a conservative.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
