Of course, we kinda need to duck and hide a little bit when we remember that we are also the generations which produced the lawyers and the prima donnas who strangled the life out of growing up American.

Still, that email rather accurately described the world I was born into.

If we read this are we getting stuck with “cookie” tracking info for telemarketers and spammers to validate active e-mail accounts for their own purposes?

How were you all able to survive without the millions of illegal aliens doing the jobs Americans would not do?

"Still, that email rather accurately described the world I was born into."

Indeed, it worked well. Somewhere along the line, we got 'liberated' - even in the age of time-saving devices, fathers now are away from their family longer and mothers work more.

Children, then in their future, can wonder how they grew up by plugging into dozens of games for their fingers, hundreds of tunes for their ears, puzzled what marriage was for and wonder how people described things without the "F" bomb.

Kids back then were tougher and less protected by the needless regulations and safety precautions imposed on kids today, but they’re also the generation that invented the hippie culture, started the drug culture, turned the Democratic party into a flaming liberal force, protested Vietnam, and are indoctrinating current kids in schools today and who have come up with all these abundant nanny-state rules that have prevented kids from growing up the way you did.

While my ex was still on my health insurance plan, my new wife became pregnant. After about 4 months, my new wife was enrolled in my health plan and we made an appointment for pre-natal care.
The admitting nurse was horrified that my wife had not been taking pre-natal vitamins for the past 4 months.
Needless to say, I was outraged at HER outrage and proceeded to administer a scathing lecture on the trillions of babies born throughout history before civilization even knew what the hell a vitamin was...
