Which is it to be? It seem difficult to have it both ways. I don’t think modern consumerist society is in any such malaise. This all just seems a flowery version of ‘The Youth of Today…’ or ‘When I Were a Lad…’. I think people, in general, are just the same mixture of ill-tempered, good natured, self centred, spiritual, cultural and charitable that they’ve always been. What era is being held up as greater than our current one in this respect?

And where is the evidence for this bizarre assertion about a new prefence for gadgets over people? Who here would honestly exchange their love or even their friendship for the lastest Nokia phone or LG telly? Surely yourself and Esmeralda are proof that the arts and the finer aspects of life are just as vital now as ever they were. How many charitable fun runners and baked bean sitters are there for every mugger? How many people express their spirituality through the New Age or revival Paganism.

That’s not to say everything is perfect, obviously, but there is nothing new under the sun. Go through old newspaper reports and the scum are still there; drunk sailors throwing crying babies into fires because they couldn’t keep them quiet, stabbings in pubs (ask Marlowe), neglected old folk and animals, football hooliganism, corrupt and venal politicians, war, famine, injustice – it’s all there.

Humanity has never been pretty to behold.

Now casbah has been on my mind all day today, I think its because of the “meats” thread.

Plus its always the last song played at a club I go to, and I know how far gone I am if I can remember what I was doing whilst its being played :oops:

Your so like me, I was swaying between KD lang and a sorta Alanis morisette in the looks department.

I think she will be one to look out for.

There’s no such thing as “easy clean”… easy clean to me means you dont have to clean and yet these horrid things always need a good clean.
