Remember when?

[soulster]

There are plenty of things that are better today than when I was a boy. The internet has opened the world for people to learn anything that they might find interesting. People from two continents have contributed to this thread and that wasn't possible before. Many of the things we recall from the "good ol' days" were viewed from the perspective of people [[and especially kids) who were protected from the truth by parents and the government. If the world seemed innocent back then, it's because we looked at it with innocent eyes, not because it was.

Amen! And, even today, many of those still don't realize how advantaged they still are.

I'll say one thing, though: at least we didn't have to worry about mass shooters back then.

Sadly, the shooting from the clock tower at the University of Texas would be forgotten within a week if it occurred today.
