I Used to Say, "Things Will Get Better." But Maybe 'Better' Isn't the Right Word.
by noteworthy at 9:44 pm EST, Nov 28, 2008

There was a time when I used to rail against lawsuits.
They're a drag on the economy, I used to say.
Then I began to sue people.

I used to say our kids will pay dearly for this.
But actually, it's our problem.

When people complained about what they read in the newspaper,
I used to say, "What do you expect for 50 cents -- the truth?"

If I wanted something, I used to say it quickly and loudly in a certain way.
Now I tap a spoon on the counter and they all know what I mean.

"I used to say, 'How can we be right and everybody else be wrong?'"

Maybe "nostalgia" isn't the right word.
It's not about fondly looking back so much as looking back in horror.

Maybe brooding isn't the right word.

I used to say that my crayon box had only two colors in it: black and white.
I guess that's why I love computer science.
