Why not?

because the list of the things he experienced that I did not, and the things I experienced that he did not.....would fill two books.....

Do you believe in honesty and hard work? Do you love your family? Do you want what is best for yourself, your neighbors, and your country? Do you value life? Do you believe in the principles upon which this nation was founded?

doesn't everyone?.........

So you share the same values as his generation?

no....I place little value on draft horses.......

I see you are not overly burdened with a commitment to logic.

I'm saying that increased 'global' connectivity is likely to result in regionalism, not universalism.

I disagree. The more interaction between society, the less regionalism there is.

However, I have to admit that regionalism is trying to evolve at this moment due to a radical interpretation of a religious cult. Will this reach a peak and die out? I think that's a strong possibility -- if we don't end up nuking ourselves back to the Stone Age.
