Old Standards, and Just Plain Old

Old Standards, and Just Plain Old
      

Perhaps, as has been suggested by at least one commenter on this blog, it is simply a sign of "age," by which innocuous noun is actually meant some degree of mental debility.

The "it" stands for expressed doubts about certain recent developments or trends in society. One commenter refers to this as Grumpy Old Man syndrome. I don't mind the label.

In his inaugural address Pres. Barack Obama used the words "[T]hese things are old. These things are true." He was referring to the virtues, whence flow our standards.  

I was a little heartened by those words, grumpy old guy that I am.
