BLOGGING JEWISH IN DUTCHESS  

I must be getting old. I yearn for the days when opening the paper was opening a window to what was happening in the world, not to the ideas of whoever is the journalist writing the article. I miss the days when history was considered to be a science based on the study of documents and artifacts, not a way to justify our political views. I miss the days when people spent more energy promoting their own ideas than trying to destroy their oponents. I miss the days when truth was truth and facts dominated our perception of the world. Were they the good old days? By no means! Crime still existed, as did racial discrimination, racism and anti Semitism. People still looked for a path to self destruction with the use of drugs or other illegal substances; corruption still existed as did sexism. So what was good about it?
