We have gone from enjoying the freedom to go where we wanted to go, do what we wanted to do within the law and say what we wanted to say to looking over our shoulder much of the time and preparing not for foreign invasions but for the atrocities of our own government. And all this within my lifetime. I weep for what was and for what is now.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-17467844904796586402014-11-18T09:36:16.768-06:002014-11-18T09:36:16.768-06:00That part of our history is over, and it's a s...That part of our history is over, and it's a shame.

We weren't coddled or sheltered. I worry about a generation that doesn't have the capacity to deal with reality and is so easily offended by anything and everything.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-49253280654994980662014-11-16T16:45:03.542-06:002014-11-16T16:45:03.542-06:00I remember when President Kennedy was shot, the pr...I remember when President Kennedy was shot, the principal spoke over the intercom and told us. School was dismissed and I walked home.

What I do know is that he eloquently states what has been on my mind. And you are right. Your opinion, my opinion and the opinions of those who think along the same lines are most definitely founded on things of importance and things that are good. My childhood was not perfect. But it was a darned sight better than now. I just wish I knew how to find that freedom again.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-63305228962079525162014-11-16T14:32:56.093-06:002014-11-16T14:32:56.093-06:00Thanks.
