Not me.  The only thing I envy about the past is steam locomotives.  In 
terms of social organization, there is nothing to yearn for in bygone times. 

  Barring human extinction, I think socialism is pretty much inevitable, 
that capitalism is too inimical to both democracy and the environment to 
last much longer.  I prefer to look forward to that future rather than (as 
William F. Buckley Jr. famously described the aim of conservatism) stand 
athwart history yelling, "Stop!"
