- Nostalgia - Abortion Nostalgia Editor, Times-Union: In regards to Mr.Don Kaiser's letter to the editor for July 24th, I must say that that was an absolute slap in the face for me.How one man (whom I know for sure has not met the entire group of "young," as he put it) can say that "the young don't care for nostalgia." Who do you think, Mr.Kaiser, writes these books and movies of today for the young of today? It was the generation after yours or after that.Please, don't blame these kids who watch Harry Potter or "Jurassic Park" and no longer play with G.I.Joe or Barbie because they aren't "witchcrafty or bloody" enough.They are only digesting what is put in front of their faces.
