[QUOTE="rod, post: 3024306, member: 5382"] It means I've lived in a time when trains were pulled by steam locomotives, I've hid under a school desk to prepare for a nuclear blast, I've watched as everything from dogs to people were shot into space and witnessed men walking on the moon. I've seen cars go from works of art to the crap that is on the road today where you can't tell one from the other. I've lived through everything from the Korean Conflict to what ever it is we are fighting for today and was drafted during the Vietnam war. I've seen society go from only a few living on welfare to what its become today where at least 11 states now list "welfare" as the main source of their residents income. I've seen tons of good high paying jobs go overseas. I've lived through a period where you respected your parents, teachers and law enforcement and paid the penalty if you didn't. I haven't looked at a History book since my kids were in school in the late 80's. Even back then WWII had been reduced to a paltry 3 pages in their history books. As far as I know all you have to do to graduate now is to attend school because little Johney isn't allowed to fail and be held back a grade. [/QUOTE]
