WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

I just happen to have a particular viewpoint, as everyone does.
I just want to make it clear, I have no malice toward anyone here because they are from a certain generation. I base all my views on each person based on the some of their actions. I grew up in the 80’s much like you older guys did. I had a job waking up at 0530 in High School and worked some nights too. Same values instilled in me as many of you. Personally, older fellas and myself have more in common that people 50 and below.

Now, I will one more time (and the final time) attempt to give a snap shot of my viewpoint:
Irrespective of any one persons upbringing here, America has been changing IMO for the worse since the end of WWII. Things ranging from foreign policy to domestic public institutions. The UN was created. The Military Industrial Complex was created. The government started using fear and impending war to control the populations emotions, actions, and voting habits.
Culturally there has been pushback, peace/ civil rights movement, and then intelligence agencies subversion of those movements. There was assassinations of major players in those movements.

When I shouldn’t have, I tried to “rain on your parade” when there has been these topics started on the subject of how wonderful life was in your youths. It was a wonderful time in my youth and I am making sure my kids are growing up “in innocence “ so that they may look back with a smile themselves someday.

I do believe I have a healthy sense of skepticism toward our government, media, entertainment influencers and I connect the dots from the current young generation all the way back to when I see it going south.

I shouldn’t correlate growing up putting baseball cards in your bike spokes or collecting glass bottles of Grapette with how I feel about the Powers that Be that have come out of that generation.

No more bashing from me. You guys go ahead an reminisce. I am sure you don’t need to hear anymore grumbling from me.
