When I was in high school there would be fights in the parking lot with guns all around and nobody ever used one.

We didn't live in a culture of death back then. Over the years, the "rot America from within" communists did their dirty work.
When I tell my kids what the country was like when I was a kid, they ask how come we can't live like that now. It's hard to explain to them the culture war that's going on in this country. Even though they're college age, I don't want to frighten them, because more innocent people are going to die before the American citizens figure out where it's coming from. I just raised them up in the way they should go so they'll not depart from it when they get older.

"When I tell my kids what the country was like when I was a kid, they ask how come we can't live like that now. It's hard to explain to them the culture war that's going on in this country. "

Same here with my niece and nephews. I wish we could turn the clock back a lot of times so they could see what it was like. It wasn't perfect but was so much better "when we were young".

These kids are so innocent and see some much more violence and insanity than most of us until we were much older.

When my niece was little, I tried to explain to her how her grandmother would wash clothes and hang them on a clothes line.

She asked me why her grandmother didn't just put them in the dryer.

Times change.
