when i was growing up in the fifties, sixties it was a great country for the middle classes. now America is a shadow of its former self. the Chinese will one day own it. parts of L.A. now look like New Delhi. so much homeless. America does not take care o its own including its veterans. just more military spending and tax cuts for the rich who own the system.
i lost 3 HS buddies in Vietnam. those of us who did not go fought like hell in the streets at home to end it, and we succeeded. i don't see the kids today standing up to Americas complicit support for genocide in the Middle East. too busy with their phones.
i am so happy that i did not bring any children into this sick world and add to the suffering. it was not supposed to turn out this way, but least i am ok and relatively healthy. we where indeed born at the right time and in the wealthiest country and got to grow up with horses and surfboards on the beach in Malibu with the best music! what where the odds of that?
