Goal for the Day: Protect Your Way of Life

We'll never see events like Erica Kane's
Mardi Gras Ball again.
Farewell, Pine Valley.

It’s not surprising that society is changing. That’s part of our evolution as human beings. I don’t necessarily like it, but I understand it. As our ideals and drives change, so does what we seek for entertainment. Yesterday’s announcement by ABC regarding the cancellations of All My Children (in September) and One Life to Live (in January) is not shocking, but it is upsetting. It’s just one more bit of evidence that we’re walking away from our traditions and our institutions.


If you’re reading this blog, chances are you have an interest in the more tried-and-true of the arts. It’s up to you to show your support for the things that you enjoy. Let people know what you’re passionate about. Show your appreciation for the things that you value that some might consider old-fashioned. The more we show that we still want some of our traditional art forms to thrive, the less likely it is that they’ll be removed. While we can’t effect all aspects of culture, we can make a show of protecting our cherished way of life.
