Yes, there were the 'duck and cover' drills but we didn't realize the gravity of the issue. There was family, community, and faith. All so long ago.

We let the devil in the door and what we have now is a nearly irreconcilable tragedy. That could also be God's plan. We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth? Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

There were vast cow pastures at both ends of our block, and 9-10 Y/O kids hunting blackbirds and catching frogs was perfectly normal. If we got into a school grounds fight and got/gave a shiner, so be it. We didn't "need" counseling, anger management, or sue each other. A day later we combatants were friends again and choosing up sides for a street baseball game. SCREW all the PC CRAP we deal with and all the social media torturing kids do to each other now.

We didnt watch it like people do today. We had TV time when the family settled down at the end of the day to watch a show. That was the only time it was turned on.Only 3 channels to pick from.It was family time at the end of the day.Look what it has become.
