Those of us who remember longer than a generation
recall times when cell phones did not exist
Home phones may be used sporadically, or not at all
Party lines were the norm, or none
I do not buy this argument
Depends where you live, Hangnjudge. Where we live, there is no way on God’s green earth that I would let my kids drive without one, especially my girls. If they got a flat tire... who knows who would show up to help. When I was a teen driving, my county was very different. There wasn’t such a thing as MS 13, the Blood, the Crypts, or the Latino Kings. When I was a teen, if you broke down on the side of the road, a car with a family would pull up and offer help. Not anymore... read the FR post where in Bethesda, Apple employees heard a woman struggling (beaten and stabbed to death) and did nothing. This store is about 20 minutes from us and it is located IN A NICE AREA OF MONKEY COUNTY.
