Yeah I had a pretty happy childhood. Wasn't rich that's for sure, both my Mom and Dad were farm workers in the CA Central Valley.
But I felt very loved, and as a rare thing back in the 60's, especially as an Hispanic I was an only child, so they poured their love into me.
It was a happy time, all us kids played out in the street, and of course back then during the summer vacation you told after breakfast, "Go out and play" and you weren't expected to come home until dinner!
My parents, especially my Mom pushed me hard at school and I ended up at UC Berkeley
That said saw a bunch of school friends who were from less loving families fall to the drugs, gangs and ultimately prison.
It's not a cliche to say that our childhood 'can' destroy your life
Talk about hypocrisy, you wont touch any thread that doesnt fit your agenda. You ignore the 99 muslim terrorist attack threads to post in the one where the arab says hes anti islam
