@@rathertiredofthemess2841 life’s not all about politics bud, strange thing to be upset about at age 12. But I do agree about the decline of the Republican Party (registered republican here…). I think the beginning of the end was more like when Gingrich became speaker with his whole “contract on America” and shutting down the govt nonsense. He taught everyone who would listen that politics should be more bitter, spiteful and partisan. That was the ‘90s, not the 70s, set the party and the country on its current path.

[@christineparis5607]

@@williamfeilhauer Thank you so much for your comment! It was an astonishing lovely small town when I was young, Palo Alto was just a University town, my mom for for Stanford Hospital and my dad walked a few blocks every morning to the train station to go to San Francisco for work. He started working at around 10 or 11 in Boston for a record company (I don't know which one) and ran errands, deliveries and records to radio stations...he learned to speak Yiddish, because his bosses were from the old country. His mom was French and from Canada, but left when he was very young. He rarely saw her, but apparently, she had a thing for boxers (!), and dated a famous one for awhile, who was very kind to the abandoned boy who had no family. He was put in a boarding school and lied about his age somehow to become a sailor in WW2. I was always completely fascinated how a man with so much against him, managed to become a sophisticated "city man" who retired as a Vice President for a big bank! I want to portray that time because it vanished so fast and completely at the advent of the computer age. Now, things are instant, which can be a wonderful thing, especially in medicine, but I also miss the long, quiet mornings and deep summer nights where life wasn't an instant video. Its probably because I'm getting old, and look back with more nostalgia than I should, but somehow, I hope others will get an idea of how life in Palo Alto, before it became a millionaire only place, was just a peaceful university town of families....I don't know if anyone will like it, but I'll write it anyway...thank you so much for being kind and I truly think you need to write a book about your experiences as well. I KNOW they would interest so many, and Pamela Des Barre had a best seller just writing about being a groupie in LA in the 60s! She lived with Frank Zappa for awhile, was in a band, lived with Don Johnson before Miami Vice. A BEST SELLER! I Know you have great stories, I want to read them too, at least think about it. If you don't like to physically write you can record yourself going over memories, even get someone to type it up for you. Merry Christmas and be safe this New Year!!!

I was 5 in 1976 and I soaked up everything around me. Especially Farrah and our celebration of our bicentennial. Carter made every Southerner very proud.

[@curtislowe4577]

No Carter didn't make every Southerner proud. Just those that weren't terribly bright and couldn't think beyond misplaced regional pride. His State Dept was thoroughly infested with closet communists. His administration did everything thing they could to help the Sandinistas who immediately set about attacking Costa Rica. Carter did nothing to stop Iran from being taken over by a radical Muslim theocracy which is still one of the world's major sources of terrorism financing. And for staying out of that revolution we were repaid by the Embassy Hostages episode. In 1980 Carter got roundly stomped by Reagan which made all the Southerners who were bright very proud that the worst modern president until recently only got one term to prove his incompetence.

[@travishendrix7026]

@@curtislowe4577 Really? Have you noticed what has come to pass since his term. Where we are right now? Carter did not approve noe did he condone anything you claim in your comment. Claiming your fellow countrymen being not being bright is a low blow sir.

[@curtislowe4577]

@@travishendrix7026 What? You admit to being 5 in 1976 and that puts you at 9 in 1980. You were literally a child. All of those things happened during the Carter Administration (CA). Read some history and stop believing progressive revisionist spin and lies. The CA State Dept lifted not one finger to advance US interests in Nicaragua or Iraq and in the case of Nicaragua pressure was exerted to prevent aide from reaching Somoza. (He was a corrupt pig but he was clearly the lesser of two evils and that is a concept that the liberals of the day avoided regularly in their policy-making.) Just as the video noted Carter squeaked by in large measure bc of Watergate, not bc of any political skill. Not only did the CA assist two virulently anti-Western regimes to assume power (through complete lack of support to the existing Western-friendly regimes) but the CA was dogmatically unable to initiate policies to reduce inflation. Fiscal ineptitude played a large part in the American voters awarding the CA a resounding defeat in 1980. Yes, look where we are. 8 years of Obama. One American parent. Most of his formative years were not lived in the US. All his college records are sealed. He is only legally a US citizen by the thinnest of legal margins. And now Obama's fundamentally corrupt VP with advanced dementia has raised inflation back to the levels of 40 years ago by implementation of policies as destructive of American interest as those of the CA. No it wasn't a low blow. Notice how the South (except for large urban areas) has consistently rejected democrat candidates since Carter. He opened the eyes of the average Southerner to the corruption of big government Democrats that somehow escaped them during the Johnson administration.

Then why are you settling for 25% of the content that should have been included? This isn't history, its lazy crib notes from people who weren't living back then, likely, weren't even born in that decade. How could they miss so much?

So a light bump on the rear bumper would cause the fuel tank to rupture and leak fuel onto a hot exhaust. Ford knew about this fault, but internal memos showed they found it cheaper to pay damages than to fix the problem. Expressed as "let them burn".
