I graduated from high school in 1951, should've finished in 1950, but our class was the first to catch the 12th grade system. Hal
 
I can relate to a lot of those things, except for the cars, mine never lookde like the ones pictured. Stan
 
Without the internet and various other information sources, and the freedom of information act, you only naively thought you had real freedom. How about the Mc Carthy witch hunt era, where we had a Commie under every bush, and every gay was a Commie suspect? How about the army troops who were used for nuclear testing to see how much damage it did to their bodies, and then their medical records were mysteriousy lost? How about the J Edgar Hoover FBI that had no bounds to what they could do? How about our vets in VA Hospitals who were used as guinnea pigs for drugs and proceedures without their permission? How about the FBI wiretaps of private phones and censuring of our US mail? I know all of these things to be FACT, our household experienced them all.

But that is not to say things are perfect now. As a democracy, we are a fraud. And I am very sorry to say that, as my entire life and family have invested their energies in this system trying to make it better. We are just little pawns in somebody's big game.

No I HAD freedom no zoning,mail order any gun I wanted,no sorry ethanol gas I was forced to buy.And more power to Hoover for rooting out the commies all he'd have to do now is go to the White House.And in typical uniformed fashion for a abundant we in the USA have a REPUBLIC not a demoracy.Demoracy is Mob Rule.
 
Yeah, but you could fight back against the McCarthyites. Many did.

You had a lot more say in what whas going to happen to you then. Just look at all the oppertunity that is lost with these much higher taxes we have to pay.
