Wasn't much good about the good old days,,,
Sure, me and my buddies all rode our bikes to the dump,,,
Rifles slung across our backs and sometimes a handgun as well.
But,,,
Does anyone remember polio?
Does anyone remember tuberculosis?
Cancer was an automatic death sentence.
Anyone remember being stopped, hauled in, and strip-searched,,,
Just because "You looked a bit suspicious to me.",,,
Pre-Miranda lawmen were often despots.
Politicians were just as crooked then as now,,,
And got away with it more because there was no public media.
If you were able to get 50,000 miles out of a car engine,,,
You were very fortunate or very lucky.
Nostalgia is great,,,
But it needs to be tempered with some reality.
Oh My Gawsh!,,,
I've become a curmudgeon! :banghead:
