“As a teen ager, I got to witness the crazy ‘60’s.”........
Try going back to the 50’s when America was a real country, people worked for a living, welfare was definitely a “no no” and abortion was taboo. Indeed it was a far better time than we are experiencing today.
I could probably handle that life.
My main memories of growing up in the fifties concern a lot of very hard work of the sort most people cannot even comprehend now but I would rather work like that again (if my old body would stand it) than live in this current nightmare. Now and then I read articles about how the current situation is somehow much better than how things used to be but I don’t see it that way. When we were not working at full speed back then we were doing something enjoyable, not sitting and texting meaningless messages to someone sitting within sight of us.
I was born in 1951. I remember the mid to late 50’s. I remember some of my Dad’s World War II friends visiting, pride in America, “Yes Sir, “No Sir”, etc., etc.
