Default Times were VERY different then.
Remember, I grew up in Central Ohio.

I was in my thirties before I met a person of Asian origin or an American Indian. It was in The Villages when I first had home cooked Italian food.

I was in my twenties when I had my first Bagel.

Pizza came to our town in the 1950's, when I was a teen.

I have never had anyone rob me or break into our home and neither has this happened to any of either of our large families.

The only time I was ever struck or hit is when I was spanked as a small child. The first time I saw anyone really beat up was the recent tape shown constantly on the news of teens beating the hell out of another student on a school bus.

I walked to school about ten blocks, different directions, all 12 years. Nothing bad ever happened to me or my friends or anyone I knew.

BUT the elementary principal liked to "hug" us. He later committed suicide after he impregnated a sixth grade girl.
