    At 66 years, I remember all of those things too.

    The pretentious moral superior attitudes preached by society at large ... TV in particular. Everyone knew June Cleaver (in white gloves) was having it off with the milkman & postman and Ward was a cross dresser, Blondie was the neighborhood whore, Dagwood had a B&D fetish, I won't even start on Roy,Dale and Trigger, yet every Sunday they were in church.

    Sin all week and prey on Sunday !!! ...😆😉🤣

    It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

    I remember the Nixon-Russian wheat deal, but what I remember more is when Nixon opened up wheeling and dealing with China. I said at the time that he was opening a proverbial can of worms. So think now about what opening ties with China has done to major parts of the U.S. economy.

    Scholars claim that our relations with China are comparable to a game of chess.


    I say hog wash to that. It all started with the game of PING PONG and we have been getting backhanded slam spiked in the rear ever since!

    You are right about all the bad things and we do tend to ignore such memories maybe just human nature to focus on the good

    The not so good i remember mom and dad struggling to keep us fed and warm and so much we did with out or had to make due

    I remember the neighbors sending there kids around to borrow a cup of sugar or flower corn meal or coffee until the next pay day of course borrowing was just a polite way of saving face .

    So many common illnesses took life's that now a few shots and pills can use now

    But as a kid and not caring like now with 24/7 news and politics all the alphabet groups protesting too name just few

    They were not not really good old days but for kids it was much simple
