Looking Back, Looking Forward

"Hold on a goddam minute before I fade to black!  Do you 

know who I am?  I am Victor Davis Hanson, a person whose

job it is to keep you from forgetting people in the past, 

like me, for instance."

Who You'll Meet If You Try to Enter Joe Miller's Past

The greatest tyranny known to humankind is the
power the past has over the present.

What is the Present? It's the battlefield where

the Past fights heroically but ultimately loses

to the Future.

"Holy Mackerel, regardless of which way I look, people
seem to be living in the future, like say 2010 or 2012, or
in the past, like say 1980 or 1984. But no one seems to
be living in the present, like say 2009."
