If I could I'd go back in a heartbeat. This country just isn't right anymore.

Danny, as a child of the sixties, that brought a smile to my face but it also brought a tear to my eye as I thought of how things had changed since then...............

I agree things are for the worse in many cases. Now days what was wrong before is now somehow right and what was right seems to be made out to be wrong. They still haven't brainwashed me, I know what is right & what is wrong and won't elaborate any more. I think a lot of us wish for more of the sane days of yesteryear maybe that's why these T&TTT's and the temporary lifestyle they bring are so appealing to all of us.
I'm with you Madjack

Danny,

If you think you haven't had your mind or thinking altered (call it what you wish) you have. All of us have. Sometimes it is better sometimes not. Then, you factor in aging, and hopefully a tint of wisdom and it gets interesting.

One of the strongest arguments about the horrors of the day, and how much better it was in the old days, was written by a Greek 2600 years ago.

Very entertaining. But as a teenager of the 50s, that is the decade I find most nostalgic. The 60's revolution sort of passed me by as I was busy being married, raising kids and working to support a family. I enjoyed that time, and unlike some of the "revolutionaries", I do remember the 60s.

Yeah--let's go back to the 60s:

Legal discrimination and segregation.

Women stuck in the house and not able to work professionally.

Real war plus the Cold War.

Bomb drills in school where kids had to jump under the desk and lived with the fear of nuclear annihilation.

Polluted waters that we all drank and business and government lied to us about it.

WHICH 60S ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE!?

Sorry to go overboard, but there's nothing that touches my buttons more than anyone claiming that "their" era was better than others, and that life was better "back then."

Yeah, it's nostalgic to visit, but to say it was as a better time to live just ain't necessarily true.

It's kinda like this quote from this song:

"Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders."

We went to the LBJ presidential museum one time to see the miniature White House. The line was so long that we ditched the plan and just checked out the exhibits. I was thinking to myself, "Man I thought it was screwed up now. It was really screwed up then."

And all the kids played in the fog from the truck that sprayed DDT to kill the mosquitoes so we wouldn't get yellow fever.

Wonder if all the lung and brain deseases are a product of what we do now or what They did back then.

The good thing about back then---teachers were valued and paid decent wages.

Military Nurses were sex symbols

A man did what a man had to do and she didn't have to tell him twice.

Tomorrow is the best it can get if we work on it.

Yeah, let's go back to the sixties.

Parked on the oil lease road after 11 on a school night.
6 pack of warm Schlitz beer sittin' on the floor.
Girlfriends jeans stuffed in a wad between the seat and the door.
Viet Nam hangin' like a cloud over every school boys head.
Knowin' when they call you'd soon be dead.

Yeah, lets go back to the sixties......

[Micro469]

I was right with you until you mentioned vietnam.....I didn't have to worry about that... more concerned wether the girlfriend got her period on time...

I guess we all remember the sixties a little differently.......

[Micro469]

Wait a minute... maybe that was the 70's..........
