When TV came into homes in the early 50s, there were questions on what affect it would have on families.. Good or bad. Bringing the world into the living room?

Today, there is a deadly threat at our door, and too many would actually vote this death-to-a-nation on the United States. I look for reasons why would anyone vote to give up their freedom and be owned by the government. Why would anyone want communism to rule over them.

I have come to the conclusion they do not know and the United States at peace is a lull of young minds. No need to get involved. A phone in hand and a car to drive..

Before the tech world hit, PEOPLE did the work.. Kids had jobs.. Learned accountability. Before TV taught rude.. Kids.. Teens.. Said thank you. Before social networking, they would not have treated others like they do behind the screen. I go in Twitter once in awhile and leave. I can’t stand the open.. Freely used, behavior. If my kids talked like that to others, they would have a mom meeting they would not forget.

There is so much change.. I could go on.. I just want the youth who vote.. Know who they are.. Know what you are doing..

When I learned to drive, gas was 50 cents a gallon. A box of cereal was under $1. My first Chevy cost $3200 brand new. I could feed a family on less than $100 a week.

I remember WWII.. The whole nation was together.. Hollywood actors served.

There were no smart mouth teens.. Girls wore skirts to school.. No knees showing.

Okay.. Done.. Happy August Saturday.. I have an anniversary this month.. Warm and pleasant years past.. Enjoy what you have....

This generation has it all.
