>Zoners have a "nostalgia for a future that seems indefinitely postponed....we are a reactionary community, not a progressive one. "
So, we'll leave the progressive ambitions to the 30 yr olds as they have yet to lose the glamor of concept, assimilation and action.
I have done my part when I was younger. Unfortunately, it takes decades to lose the enthusiasm when you see the controls of big business, big industry with an unchecked government breathing down your neck. The Zone has a nice social side to it, ful of nostalgia and reminisces. There a lot of Life History here.
