People Whine Everywhere

RECEIVED Thu., Sept. 18, 2008

Dear Editor,
    Thanks, Louis, for your “Page Two,” Sept. 5. It is indeed an extended "us" and not an evil "them.” That has to become a discredited idea at long last. Speaking as an "old Austinite" who moved away to Australia many years ago, the phenomenon of whining about the good old days is not confined to Austin. People do it everywhere. I find, on my trips back to visit Austin, that it has tremendous energy. At least it isn't Dallas … yet. Of all the fears people seem to have, fear of change is the worst. Thanks again for a reasonable voice, and cheers, mate!
