| Even Better Than the Real Thing | ||||
| ||||
It never ceases to amaze me how many people talk about how great things used to be, not realizing how bad they used to be too. It's a common psychological phenomenon actually.
However, some people like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck and the cast of Fox News seem to forget this. Because they remember things as being greater way back when, they think that life was better 20, 30, 40 years ago. Forget women's rights, civil rights, tight economic times (okay... I guess we remember this one).
The fact is the selective memory says times were better way back when, but were they really? John Oliver does a small bit on the Daily Show to take this on. Enjoy.
