America

The Professor has a post that reminded me of the Simon and Garfunkel tune.

The song reminded me of my own youth and the feeling of that time. What does the song mean?  It may mean different things to different people. Perhaps different things at different times.  At the time, it was the uncertainty and wariness of the road ahead.  But the concern at that time was for myself.  These days, the concern is for the country and what lies ahead for us all-- even after I am gone.  There may not be a whole lot any one person can do that affects things very much one way or another.  Perhaps things won't be as good as you might hope, nor as bad as you may fear.  It was that way for me.
