WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

Seems like it offends some younger generation people to hear older generations speak of their youth or early days. I do not understand why.

I well remember simply loving to hear my old aunts and uncles talk about the past, it was stories of both good and bad. I wish I had them all back today. I never knew my grandparents, as they died before I was born.

Back in the 60s, sure a Coke was 5 cents. But back then a nickle had a value and a dollar actually bought something. But look how hard and long anyone hard to work to earn that nickle or dollar. Was life easier? In some ways yes, other ways , no.

Since I'm 74 and started WORK after HS school classes in the sixties, I have a long memory of life and work. I remember the good and the bad. I prefer to recall the good usually. In my opinion was life better back then? Different yes. In many ways better,but that is just my opinion.


Was there less crime, fewer "bad" people? Were there crazy people going into schools and killing for the sake of killing??


There was still murder even in rural Ga. back then. One afternoon I stopped at a rural country store to find the owner and his wife, robbed and dead with their brains spattered over the wall. Were the murder rates per capita way less back then? Probably. Lead can tell us.

I'm sorry for anyone that wants to ignore history and past lives.
