Stories about the future: Forewarning. Stories about the good ol’ days: Heartening.

The spear tip of technology is how we can get somewhere else: the wheel, the sailboat, the rocket. In short: we’re movers. We are now as mobile as we’ve ever been as a culture.

According to Republicans, they speak for us &#8211; they are the voice of the &#8220;people&#8221; &#8220;“ and all Americans agree with the Right. Hardly. Just to pick one: if we actually were a right-of-center nation, Social Security would not be the [...]<br><a href="http://www.cagle.com/2010/07/the-center-not-right/">Join the conversation & Comment</a>]]></description>

Of course, it&#8217;s designed to taste amazing. Mission so accomplished. The sandwich had the right amount of fat and salt to appeal to my ancient binge-to-survive-winter DNA. It was laced with artificial scents, [...]<br><a href="http://www.cagle.com/2010/07/of-junk-food-and-junk-news/">Join the conversation & Comment</a>]]></description>

It&#8217;s strangely not even a rich or poor issue. It&#8217;s an American issue. It&#8217;s our biggest peeve.

People who have never heard of George Orwell know of the term &#8220;Big Brother.&#8221; In many ways his dark vision of what the year 1984 would look like is prophetic.
