Sort of a slide.
My 65 year old brain is about to explode from all of the propaganda and not propaganda news.
My life has been simple, you know? We had Halloween without razor blades until I was in 6th grade, even then I was shocked to hear of it. Vietnam was a copper bracelet with the name of a POW on it, Disney was pure and clean, Mad magazine was forbidden to me, Laugh-in was just a comedy show. . .
We all miss the real life that we once had but reality keeps smacking us in the face over and over.FR is great in that it helps us deal with all the abuse out there.
Your musing about the world of your youth reminds me of all the sweet times. Kids able to play outside after dark and being safe. The world is confusing today.
The Halloween “scares” turned out to always be BS too…
