Just remember something else I miss from back in the day. Now I'm sure some of you will disagree with my fondness for this memory, but to each his own. Right?. here it is. I USED TO LIGHT UP A CIGGARETTE AND SMOKE ONE ANYWHERE I WANTED!!! That's right; in the restaurant, at the mall, while shopping, in the doctor's office or hospital, on the bus, in a plane, in government buildings - literally ANYWHERE. We even had a student smoking lounge in my high school. All public places featured ashtrays every few feet and you simply smoked em if you had em. How in the world did we all allow those granola eating, self righteous, pansy ass "progressive liberals" progress this country right down the shitter in one generation??? If I were to have fell into a coma 30 years ago and miraculously woke up today; I would think I'd died and gone to an authoritarian, sci-fi, hell designed by insurance claims adjusters. Tragically, my sons only know what a great country this used to be through stories that older relatives and I shared. I remember America as a somewhat rough place where bad things sometimes happened, but for good or bad, we had privacy and true liberty. I would gladly trade all the so called "security, equality and improvements" of today to have that America back.
