We were both wrong: to borrow a Quote from Dale:
"I love it the way it should be

Now that is using your head for something besides a hat rack.


I have lived for more than 2/3's of a century and (in my opinion) feel I am living a better life today than them GOOD OLE DAYS. We are better in the methods of medical treatment and many ways Everyone is closer to being treated as being EQUAL. When groups of Americans are given a right, I do not feel like I lost one.
We still have need of improvement, but must not go back.
You are absolutely right. A poster in a different thread said he loved America like it WAS. How far back? Before women got the right to vote? Before slavery was abolished? Before the Civil Rights Act?

We, as a country, have gone forward a long ways. Progressive action is needed to go forward and to keep moving forward.
