I think you've made some good points. Sadly preserving history isn't what it used to be. Society has become more selfish. It's more about the here and now now days. What I have and what I want is the priority. Gimme gimme gimme and I'll throw it away soon and get something better. When I was...

I think you can't see the forest for the trees. This mindset has been around for a long long time. I dealt with it in the 70s and early 80s. Have things went downhill since then? Yes of course but there's a bigger problem that has been snowballing for a decade or so and it's what is ruining the...
