Olde Fashioned ’n Out of Date…

A few months ago, I voiced an opinion ’n wuz told that I wuz ‘old ’n irrelevant’…I supposed that I wuz ’n laughed about it….t’other day I voiced an opinion to some other people ’n wuz told that I wuz ‘old fashioned ’n out of date’…

Now, I tend to believe in that old adage that if you run into multiple jerks in the course of a day, you should probably look in the mirror…so, I been kind’a looking in the mirror, so to speak, about what I do believe in…y’know, those intangible things that we were told ‘way back when, were the building blocks of life…the truth, justice ’n the American way that we got from the Superman comics, the death before dishonor thing that came with the King Arthur stories, the Ten Commandments that we heard about durn near every Sunday, the Boy Scout creed, the George Washington ‘cannot tell a lie’ story that children believed as implicitly as we believed in Santa Claus….

So, I guess I really am old ’n irrelevant ’n old fashioned ’n, also, out of date bec’uz I don’t think very many children today get those ideals dunned into them day after day…

So be it, I guess…times change, it’s a far different world today than when I wuz young…I recall brother John explaining to his grandson that he’d had to use his imagination when he wuz a boy becuz there wuz no teevee, no computer games, that back then, life wuz different….

On the intangible side of life, I do believe in truth, justice, ’n the American way…I believe in honor ’n standing up for what is right just becuz it’s the right thing to do…I believe in the concepts of good ’n evil ’n, on some level, I guess I believe in Heaven ’n Hell…I believe in the sanctity of life ’n am bewildered by the casual acceptance of murder among young people…so it should come as no surprise to anyone that not only do I believe abortion is wrong, I believe it’s infanticide….I also think euthanasia is wrong…it makes no difference to me if the State passes laws making those things legal, I consider them wrong….’n those beliefs, according to a younger friend of mine, makes me hopelessly old-fashioned ’n totally out of date with t’days enlightened thinking…
