Every generation likes to think it faces unique problems (it's all going to hell in handbasket, right?).
How I enjoyed reading this passage in The Long Winter (set in 1880) to Isabelle this evening:
"These times are too progressive. Everything has changed too fast. Railroads and telegraph and kerosene and coal stoves - they're good things to have but the trouble is, folks get to depend on 'em."
Amen, Pa - we still feel that way!
