Relics are treasured as something close to the divine. - Sarah Vowell

Old Pylons by the twin rivers of the Kalang and Bellinger

Old things were once cared for and still are today in some quarters.  This is a practice that is dying out as it becomes evident that the new generations are not interested in looking after what has gone before them.  Today society is very much a throw away society and there is no value in looking after the past according to them.  Do they know this though?  When they are young do they really know this well enough to make this decision for humanity and should we let them do this?
