You can't fix the future by disrespecting it.

The '80s sucked. The '60s sucked. The '70s was probably the high water
mark for this country.

Way off base re the 60's and 80's (mid 70's the demise began and 80's was
the beginning of the high rate of the demise) but the 70's were the peak as
far as output. It will only get worse from here on, in every conceivable
measure. "Americans" must learn to live like the people in Peru, Cambodia
and Albania. It's not sorrowful, it was good while it lasted.
