Do you consider yourself to have a "station" in life?
Forums:
Currently in the middle of "The Evening and the Morning" (prequel to Pillars of the Earth) and also have watched a fair amount of British series/movies over the pandemic; and find it interesting how things "evolved" over there vs. over here; where the Declaration of Independence was penned by a slaveholder.

Great Britain outlawed slavery before the US did, but on the other hand they have no constitution and still have no independence to declare.

Yeah, I was blown away after learning they don't have a written constitution.
While it is true they outlawed slavery before us, I can't help but wonder if their class system is far more ingrained in their modern society because they were able to "get away with it" ... in the sense that their class system pushes the boundaries of freedom while never actually crossing the rubicon of slavery?

Station to Station?
I always loved the sound of turning the dial on a radio and not stopping on any one station but going across them slowly warping them all. Also the best part of an Orchestra is when they tune up.

WRTI the point. 90.1 fm, your temple university jazz station. But then they switched to a jazz/classical format.

I also believe the word
I also believe the word "station" is both odd and hilarious on one hand, but it's clearly a thing in the UK and elsewhere ... although not so much here in the US where we have the undercurrent of slavery that hasn't really been dealt with in full. I'm not sure which undercurrent is more detrimental? I guess it depends on who one is and how far one is willing to allow said undercurrent to dominate one's life. Obviously, this can be far easier said than done.
90% of the British tv series / movies I've watched have some major content about one's "station"; and in particular, about finding love or meaning in life outside of one's "station". Apparently, this is a popular theme & people like seeing resolutions of conflict on this front played out on the screen.
Just finished the mini-series Dr. Thorne, but had watched the full run of Poldark

Also started watching Downton Abbey recently ... the series is an exemplar of British preoccupation with this subject.
