This is a fair point. However too often that prudence is born out of fear or a false sense of nostalgia for a time which really never actually existed. It is not universally born out of due diligence.
Continuing on #4.......
I am not sure what you mean by fair point.
Going back to the false nostalgia......
First, I don't know that it is nostalgia......
It is looking at certain things (that are a priority) and feeling like we were in better shape then (with regards to those things) than we are now.
I don't think anyone can argue that racial issues have been improving (although they still are not very good) since the 60's/70's.
And you might say that things are better in terms of TV (all those freaking cable channels.....especiall ESPN).....
But you didn't have to worry about having shows come into your living room where the f-word is about every third word in the script.
As always, I defer to your abitlity to articulate.
Let me know how I misunderstood you.
Getting back to prudence.....in general.
I don't know that I've ever seen a reasonable political conversation at the national level.
But today's ugliness and posturing don't represent on drop of prudence (the prudent voices are drowned out).
Wanting prudence isn't being fearful.
I don't get your last comment about due dilgence.
Cheers !!! And Happy Christmas.
