Istanbul, Cologne, all different, from everywhere.
Stored in our heads are the roadsigns and road

faded, but a whole lot is still stored there, latent,
ready to go. In fact we use them every day even
though we may not know it.
As I approach old age I have come to real
ize that roadmaps are as inexorable as the DNA
genetic code. They tell us where we came from,
and who we are. What we respect, value, and how
we interact. What we like to eat. This accidental
geography of birth becomes as important as our
parents. The value schemes, the ethnocentricisms.
the lattice and matrix of our thinking process is
regional; who we are is where we are from.

grandparents lived, the street past the
night school, the street of our girl friend's
college dorm. Fixed points in an ever
changing life, and we remember what all
those people taught us.
Literature and science alike will tell
you that American regionalism is going
the way of the passenger pigeon. I not
only hope not. I know it is not. Oh.
maybe the obvious twang of an Okie, or
the drawl of a Texan, but even there a
good ear will hear Dallas, west Texas, or
Oklahoma. The old road signs steer us
home everytime. Value schemes may be
harder to see. and maybe they are fad
ing away. They will if we let them.
We all worry today about what we
see as a decline in our society. Read a
little history. Violence. It was ever so,
only not reported as routinely or spectac
ularly. There was always someone who
pulled a gun or a knife to settle a dis
agreement. There were probably those
who carried guns to school, the differ
ence today seems to be the mindless
willingness to use them. Maybe Old
Lodgskins said it best in Little Big Man,
"...white men are crazy, they don't know
where the center of the earth is." Road
maps, maybe we should start using them
more often.
Or maybe we should be turning
back tcrthe hometown sources of those
maps and find an unwillingness to accept
or tolerate violence. Whether the vio
lence is racism, crime, drugs, institution
al barbarism in our prisons, conglomer
ate America, dumping toxic waste in our
old swimming hole, or a kid packing a
gun. Racism, drugs and crime do not
have to be part and parcel of our daily
lives. Our social roadsigns should steer
us away from accepting murder mas
querading as entertainment in TV and
movies or lurid crime replacing news and
reporting in our papers. The real crime is
our acquiescence, acceptance, tolerance
and participation in this corruption of our
society. Look in the media mirror, it
reflects us.
The book I am recommending this
month is Zephyr by Henry Kisor. Riding
the Amtrak Zephry Kisor samples the
sights and people on his train trip west.
Always an interesting author. Henry
Kisor taps into the lives of his fellow pas
sengers. and the vital signs of railroading.
