Bryan, a best seller could be written and titled "The Old Ways."

It would:

1. Compare today's ways with ways in the 1940s-'50s - well within most of today's living memories.

2. Include real world examples to illustrate the changes.

3. Be organized by chapters titled, e.g., The Family, Work Ethics, Patriotism, Entertainment, Morality . . .

4. Each chapter would end with a set of conclusions pertinent to that chapter.

5. The last chapter would synthesize a superset of conclusions with supporting examples drawn from business, government, education, science/technology, global influence, etc.

That's a book I would enjoy taking a shot at.

Please pardon me, Jim, Bryan simply tossed out some red meat and I could not pass it up
