How old is Grandma

The claim was that none of those things existed. That's factually wrong. It doesn't matter if very few could afford it. If only one could, the point holds true.

Right, I understand. And you are correct, while it actually DID exist, it may as well not have for most people. Isn't it funny how times change? I think pretty much everybody in this country right down to below poverty level can have access to most all that now.....that is to say, "if they want to". Or better yet, "if they don't" spend any extra money on tattoos, booze and cigarettes.
