Not Like That

They didn’t even have railroads back in the year eighteen hundred, not every man would get to vote, only those with property did! And some of those folks did own slaves, wasn’t that a great disgrace? They couldn’t even keep Indians from raiding all over the place! They had no motors or factories, and still wore tri-corner hats, thank God in nineteen hundred we no longer live like that! … Those souls back in nineteen hundred were just so backwards, don’t you know? They wouldn’t let a woman work, or even have her say and vote! And all those prejudicial laws… they did not even understand that skin plays no real part in the making of a good man. They did not have cars to drive, that era just sounds like crap, thank God now in two thousand we no longer put up with that! … Those people back in two thousand sure acted like a bunch of loons, not the least because they killed their unborn babies in the womb! And what was with their thinking that all cultures were just the same even after mad Islamists crashed into their buildings with planes? And thinking that government could give a person what they lacked? Thank God in twenty-one hundred we’ve grown beyond all that...
