Today someone told me that she thinks moving forward is really moving backwards.

It’s like the human life cycle.  You start out as a blithering baby, and at 80, you end up as one.

When I was in college, my advisor read me a quote that went something like this:

“The youth today will have no future.  They have no respect for their elders, for society, for the way things should be.”

This is a quote from Socrates during one of those B.C. years. And probably by every parent in the world since then.

Go figure.

So here’s 8 reasons why moving forward is really moving backwards - and why sometimes that might not be so bad.

GOOD REASONS

• More is Less. Keeping up with the Joneses has become spending less than the Joneses.
• Walking is better than taking your car.
• Growing your own food is better than buying it.
• Gas prices are at 2005 levels, and dropping.
• Obama brings back the Clinton Brigade.

BAD REASONS

• We’re in a depression.  Oh, I mean recession. First we couldn’t say the “r” word, now we’re not supposed to say the “d” word.
• Foreign countries own most of the land in America. BAD for us, GOOD for them.
• The modern day health system is a joke. I guess that’s never changed.

Kangaroos only move forward, never backwards.

Go figure.
