SOME MISCELANEOUS LARD

Isolation is the culprit! Americans spend 13 hours less per week socializing with each other in person then Mexicans do.If its true it makes sense;I heard it in some news somewhere.I think its increasingly important to realize the changes in the way people communicate will create a change in perception of values,relationships,responsibility in communicating and a lot of other words and phrases that would fit here.4 sure our culture is in a seemingly interminable midst of inevitable change.There was an op ed in the NY Times by Joe Scarborough this past week about this, which I didn't read, but I bet its all cautionary and what not.I once wrote about the diminution in some qualities the word " friend " in daily life, as a result of on line communication; But, I do not think its helpful to hold today up against yesterday when it comes to generational change and change that affects the majority and represent the completely unknown qualities of unfamiliar destinations.It seems to me that there must be a difference between growing up having to wait on a corner for 45 minutes for a friend or date etc vrs having cell phones and canceling plans 10 minutes before you meet.It used to be a drag waiting it out when people were late and it was easy to get stood up with a good excuse " there was no way to reach you".My reality tells me younger people would have insight that would be considered by more of the population.The results of Joe Scarborough's generation and up (in age) on our society probably looks less than stellar to those under 40.......... DON"T you agree?.I would rather read an op ed on civil discourse in the United States in the digital age by Hilton Perez than Joe Scarborough but Joe is around my age and a little predictable to me.Anyway, until....... Lard will be continued with Pigs Knuckles smothered in gelatin.
