What???????????
Are you referring to the Ten Commandments mention?
I meant, on Halloween, our parents certainly didn't worry about us being abducted, raped and murdered; kidnapped, etc. when we went out alone in the dark.......on the city streets. Circa 1953 to 1955, etc., etc.
I wasn't thinking of the other commandments, only what related to children going out alone on Halloween......and the fact that our parents did not worry about us.
Nowadays, so many children are harmed in terrible ways.
p.s. Out of due respect, I still think my comments are always being taken "out of context" even others where I've said over and over again how beautiful and attractive we thought the Villages was......and when I posted about the drug sweep in our once nice little town, it was to show that things "change" all over.......I was not being defensive about our town.......just stating facts. All places have things of beauty and all places have not so nice things. We were living in a bucolic atmosphere while raising our family........now we are the elders at 68 years old pushing 70 and times have changed; society has changed..........but back when we were kids, it was SAFE.
Why would that be? Fear of the law?
Fear of being imprisoned?
Fear of God? Thus, my Ten Commandments post.
In a nutshell, our parents let us wander all over and not one person ever bothered us.....................
Now ............lying, stealing, etc. adultery? I'm sure it happened. Just watch BOARDWALK on Sunday nights.
Atlantic City, Chicago, etc.
