The kids these days don’t want to hear what life was like fifty or sixty years ago, and would never understand, anyway.
They really believe they’re “free” now.
Sad.
Even at the height of The Cold War our nation was not in the danger it is today now our rights and freedom. In the late 1960's early 1970's planes were hijacked. One nutjob demanded the pilot crash into Y-12 at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I remember that one real well. I also remember when I was in the military in the late 1970's still being able to board a commercial plane and not have to be subjected to invasion of privacy. Our nation had leaders who had programs aimed at the criminal not the citizens. Sky Marshalls Program worked and no ones rights were compromised.
As kids in school we could talk to our buddies at school about our shotgun, rifles, whatever and even the teacher would join in if he was a hunter. We used to talk to the assistant principle in my high school about hunting and guns. Now we have to worry about teachers having sex with grade schoolers and the Gay Recruiters coming in for tolerance and sexual preference indoctrination assemblies. Woe unto any deaf student using sign language that in any form resembles pointing.
