@@buffalove9634 I think they just seemed like simpler times if you were a kid then because you weren't aware of the problems of the world, just the ones right outside your door. We didn't have the internet or 24-hour news cycles so we weren't exposed to as much in a lot of ways. Everything we did wasn't considered harmful. Adults smoked right in your face; grandparents would offer you wine at family gatherings even though you were only 10. And the things that did happen were our own fault- if a child ate laundry detergent, it was because mom didn't put it away or the kid was an idiot, it wasn't Tide's fault. I broke my tailbone on a Slip n Slide- my mom didn't sue Wham-O, she just told me I had to be more careful. We were less obsessed with consequences.

Now days when I see people or speak to them it's like the lights are on but nobody is home or they just have an unnecessary attitude. We all know now that everything we see, hear and live in daily is so full of hatred and spite but we also know who is responsible. I had a conversation the other day about how bad things are as an American and that there is no escape, no where else to go. We are all stuck on this sinking ship with the ones that shot holes into the hull.
