Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 30, 2013

The more things change, the more they stay the same …

And uphill both ways….

Oh, yeah? Well, when I was your age…I was your age…..And we both know what that means…..

Um,…..is that one of those fart powered chairs? Built by Lar’s Enterprises?……I’m pretty sure….

AND against the wind, both ways …

He’s almost as round as his transport bubble.

They’ll still need batteries in the future?Bummer.

He forgot “barefoot”.

Just ask Miss S.C..

And in storms where it rained pitch forks and hammer handles….

Yes, it’s been done before. Many, many times. But try telling kids today that…

“In the year 2525…” If anyone is old enough to remember that little song.

lol. stories of how awful yesterday was. before time began

“Tsk. I just don’t know about you newer generation of clones …”

“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”

― Socrates

And that was back in the days of black and white tv, rabbit ears for antennae, no remote controls, and only 13 channels on the dial!

Even in the FUTURE………Batteries required.Except for the Fart chair. Lots of veggies or beans.

that is NO future….a night mere….

I love the bubble baby analogy. This generation coming up is already cocooned by their helicopter parents. Imagine what the next or the next generation is going to be like. Wiley isn’t far off the mark with this one.

Did you previously mention this on one of the Editorial sites? I downloaded the story and it was well worth reading.

You think that one does go withBall of Confusion by the Temptations.Air pollution, revolution, gun control,sound of soul.Shootin rockets to the moonKids growin up too soonPoliticians say more taxes will solve everything!AND THE BAND PLAYED ON.( I had that bass line down back then)That is a song that still rings true today and was written 1970.

Here is another snip it.“The sale of pills are at an all time highYoung folks walk around with their head in the sky. Cities aflame in the summer time.AND THE BEAT GOES ON.’

And last my personal favorite. “Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors,Mod clothes in demand,Population out of hand,Suicide, to many bills, hippies movin’ to the hills,PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE SHOUTING END THE WAR!!!!!!And the band played on.”Its still a Ball of Confusion. 43 years later.
