Oh thank you, I lived a pretty long time, turned 75 this year. I give a lot of thought to situations, I grew up in the 60's that is when I came of age. I had one foot in the past, and one foot in the imagined future, and then they started killing Kennedys, and our high school boyfriends went off to Viet Nam. Some never came back, the rebellion of youth was confusing for some. We loved the new music, we loved that young bands and musicians were on tv, growing tired of Dinah Shore and Andy Williams, but many of us did not love the sudden plummet into immorality, I guess I held to my guns, but failed sometime. I see so much social engineering going on that only makes sense in a diabolical sense, none of it advances communities or families. I guess its the inevitable fall of civilization that occurs when power and money become the golden calf, yet again, we cycle and cycle and cycle. The true rebellion is getting off that wheel, but be in the world, but not of the world. I was once a liberal, when it had to do with helping the poor in bad neighborhoods, when it had to do with wanting to give poorer people an equal standing to rise themselves up. My father was dirt poor growing up, but life was simple for men then, if they had intelligence, a moral compass and a good work ethic. It was simple. Then the system got involved and completely messed it up, then it took over education, medicine, almost everything, so we are forced to play within the system to survive. People lack the experience or the courage now, to get off the wheel and refuse to play.
