[QUOTE="texan, post: 1019942, member: 38206"] [B] So true in a way.... I long for when times were simple to me. Age 11,12,13 Work for a dollar. Weed gardens, mow lawns, shovel snow for a dollar an area to compete for those who wanted 3 to 5 dollars to undercut them. Age 14,15,16 Bus boy, dish washer, and many other base jobs to make a buck. Simple songs on the radio, but then the Beetles, Cream, The Who, Stones, Blood Sweat and Tears, and who was this Jimmy Hendrix person, and who what was Timothy Leary and his drug LSD? President of the US, assassinated. JFK Why ? What? Who? 1964. What was Bay of Pigs? Wondering all the time what is Vietnam? Why did so many in my neighbor hood die? Not many, but I attended some half casket funerals as heros jumped on grenades to save their peers. Why all the protest and spitting on Vets? Why? Why the 68 Dem violent protest during the Dem Convention? I am only 12 trying to digest this. Walter Cronkite and his reports on TV of Nam. I had a draft card in 1973, will I go? Nah they said it is over. Why did so many go to Canada? 17 year old brain in action. hmm Race riots in Detroit over Martin Luther King. Who killed him? Why? A 12 year old brain trying to understand. Nixon his crime and resignation? What, why? Jimmy Hendrix, LSD, Woodstock, Timothy Leary, huh? I was what, 13 at the time. We pulled out of Nam and 58,000 lost their lives for what? But I was young and dumb. Watts Riots? Huh why I was 9. Why what? But as you ask, I will not replicate the past. It all has no meaning. Bless you.[/B] [/QUOTE]
