Maybe it's just 'nostalgia' ... y'know that terrible human thing where we look back at the past and indulge ourselves for a moment by imagining things were different, better that they are now?

Mars bars ... were bigger and had real toffee on the top layer ?

Politicians were noble and honest ... OK I'm stretching it a bit there maybe!

But certainly people were (or seemed) to be more tolerant and accepting of one another ...

Or ... have I got it wrong ?

Yes, it IS a bit of a vague thread I intend for it to be ... so be sure to read it as " I'm asking, not telling" how it is in YOUR part of the world compared to 'yesteryears'



cheers

Honesty in general is a "thing" of the past.
Not only in my "part" of the world,but in the world in general.

There was none of this reality tv rubbish in the good old days when each and every tv star was a convicted child molester.

For you ... 120,000 Volts and 1000 Amps

You'd fry and frazzle in a second, faster than cheap n nasty water injected supermarket bacon!

Nostalgia... happy place yes times were so different then. I know for myself maybe it was youth or maybe just the times,my world seemed to be a smaller place. I think of how much things have changed. Some for the good and some for the bad. What has not changed is I still see the world with so much hope. If asked some of the things I don't see to much of now that I miss from that time it would be, the innocence of being able to leave home for vacation leaving your doors and windows opened. Schools that did not look like prisons (they have many of them fenced off here blues ) Children playing in the streets everywhere. Bell bottoms. Knowing your neighbors, it did not take a catastrophe to go out and meet one another. hmmm And yes the tolerance and accepting has changed here. Once you could meet of walk by someone on the street and greet them with a happy smile and not fear. Food seemed to taste better to me. Not all these additives. And yes even our politicians and doctors seemed less frightening. It was slower times.



Soon it will be a changing of the guards. It will be another generations turn to make their foot prints on this land. One day they will be looking back with nostalgia. It is nice to of lived a life where we have things we miss from it
