We'll all survive. Yes, things are different than when we were growing up - no more bomb shelters, no "red" threat, no Vietnam (well, not exactly). Things seemed rosier because we WERE young!

There is still a lot of good old American spirit in this land, it just does not get on the news. I think there is a reason bigger than we know why all of this ugliness is being brought into the open.Perhaps we have become to complacent and needed to be woke up to the truth.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615619898193867797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522929750944577069.post-42849583163546880322010-03-31T01:10:05.677-05:002010-03-31T01:10:05.677-05:00Well said Big Sis!Well said Big Sis!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
