  1. I just think this is an exceptionally high level discussion for YT. But I always see the bright side of life. :D

  2. We had bigger things to protest back then but a lot of it went off the rails too: weekly domestic eco-terrorist attacks on infrastructure (Edward Abby)...not as bad as industrial polluted rivers catching on fire and such maybe, that happened too back then, all young American 'men' had to consider the lottery, aka. draft into a senseless meat grinder in Vietnam... self righteous stealing/looting, monthly airliner hijackings, far higher serious crime rate. Our blood lead levels were much higher back then.

  3. For all the "kids" today: This is what I grew up with, NO you haven't seen the worst times in America by a long shot, but we lived, hiked in the mountains, worked hard and vacationed, thrived as best we could just the same in more dangerous times, but much better than the decades before the '60's. We had couple easy decades prior to 2008/2020, did you expect that to be normal?

  4. @Unpredictable Axolotl The comments, I should have clarified. Granted I see a lot of childish threads on YT.
