Thank you. I was waiting for someone to remember the huge difference. Those who grew up in the 70’s may think they had freedom, but they don’t have a frame of reference.

I grew up in DETROIT in the fifties. Can you imagine Detroit today? Kids could go anywhere using public transporation. The rule was if you got lost stop any adult and ask directions.

All the men were tied and hatted; the women in business suits and high heels. What a great, great, country this used to be.

Cops used to walk beats until the late fifties. They knew everyone in the neighborhood. People sat out on their front porches all summer. You could hear the Tigers’ game on every radio through the opened screened front doors of homes.

The same could apply to our political situation today. We really don't know what it is to be truly free.
