Mm mm the good ole days.
Polio.
Mumps.
Measles.
Jim Crow.
Lynchings.
Women relegated to serve as secretaries or teachers.
Air raid drills every Friday at noon. Duck and cover.
Yup. D’ems the good ol days.
Living for today isn’t bad. Working for a better future is good. Holding up a sterilized view of your youth is not healthy. Sure, it’s fun to remember. Just make sure you remember everything.
I do remember everything.
We cured polio. Mumps and Measles are still around. We also cured smallpox.
I grew up in the deep South. What we have now is actually worse than those days. Obama is President. A Black Panther is Attorney General. Blacks are literally worshiped in all parts of the media. We now have a system where incompetent Blacks are given almost total preference over qualified Whites.
Our school never had a “duck and cover” drill. Most families were not divorced and most Mothers were home makers. If they were like my Mother, they were happy they didn’t have to work outside the home.
Yes, those were the good ole days. Not perfect but so much better than today.
Speak for yourself. My childhood was wonderful. We lived on a farm, grew our veggies, fruit, beef, pork, chickens, etc. Sure it was work but we played hard, too. We were healthy, too. I went 11 years without missing a day of school but a cousin went all 12 years without missing a day. All but one family member lived in my hometown so we grew up with lots of cousins. We all knew each other in my town and it was safe.
I think most people remember all things but usually the good outweighs the bad.
Measles and mumps (and chickenpox) were just a part of childhood. Polio was cured.
Most kids didn’t have a clue what Jim Crow or lynchings were. That came to us as adults.
Women relegated to certain jobs was just the way it was and the “duck and cover” drills were to make us safe, *chuckle.*
I really think the good ole days have to do with the innocence of youth. A lot of things are better now...a lot of things not so much.
Mm mm the good ole days.
Polio.
Mumps.
Measles.
- And immunizations/cures were developed in that era.
Jim Crow.
Lynchings.
- ...aren’t you happy we don’t have racially motivated crimes today?
Women relegated to serve as secretaries or teachers.
- There were no female doctors or scientists? What is the color of the sky on your planet?
Air raid drills every Friday at noon. Duck and cover.
- We swapped that out for attacks on our military bases by Islamic Terrorists. Ain’t it grand that we no longer have to deal with those pesky Air Raid Drills?
Yup. D’ems the good ol days.
- Yeah, you sound like a Dem alright!
