I'm old and I do not want old running my country! So does that make me a traitor to oldsters like me? Do you prefer OLD no matter what? Why?

So you would happily drive a 1930's car rather than what is available today carwise? Why? Do antiques float your boat? Does old indicate quality? What is it about OLD that makes you cling tight to it? Would you take a rowboat over a speedboat? A horse-and-buggy over the newest Lamborghini? Different strokes. How about going back to manual typewriters and carbon paper and white out?  Those were the days right? Seriously? How about ice boxes and scrubbing boards and clothes lines where you'd have to hang your clothes outside to dry. Gathering around the radio because there was no TV. Actually having to write letters and cards and send them via snail mail because there was no internet. Better than now? You miss those days?
