Western civilization is very much a moving, evolving thing.
Not at my grandmother's house. Things would have to be just so or they weren't right. The right dishes or plates or recipes. They had to be the ones her parents used, or maybe an aunt, or a close reproduction. A touch tone phone became an affront on a way of life.

I know you aren't talking furniture or dishes but the analogy holds. Is Herman Mellville or Cotton Mather more esteemed than Amy Tan or Philip Roth just because that's the way it always was. Many conservatives risk turning American society into a museum of past glories.
