So true ,Now BuZZ ,, Ya got Me started on my rant of thismodern world , I am Certain You can Agree on Many Points . At the rate of decline We are witnessing, We will be lucky if Cival unrest Does not produce a lot of Dead People..
I Marval at the resourcefulness,INGUINUITY ,ambition , Can Do Enthusiasm, ANd most of ALL Patriotism of the Greatest GENERATION that tooled up and Fought WW2.
But They did not have to live under a regime of Businesses ,Unions and goverment that sold their Jobs overseas to Chinese and others that gave Money to them in Campaign Contributions,.. A goverment that Witnessed the LAMENESS of Securitys and EXchange Commission allowing us all to be ripped off by stock ,banks ,insurance,and Commodities Manipulation.., So many bad EPA regulations and redundant paperwork reporting burdens that Strangle and Rob the joy out of productivity .A tax system that does not encourage savings but promotes Debt and dispair , In 1939, CORRUPT Lobbiest did not Thrive or have near, the power in government as they do today. in 1939, Movies were Classics , Not Computerized Graphic Modern BS Garbage,... And Radio was a Young Talented Kid DJ who could sneak in Elvis or Hank Williams to do a live song without fear of being fired or sued by the mother Sydicate..Music Talent was real and more often inspired goodness that filled the Heart ,without modern acrobats , jumping ,Screaming obscenities, Confusion and Fireworks of arena concerts of today. Families,Parents that Lived and loved together,No matter what,.And took care of their own from cradle to grave, Without Goverment Help. Who raised Gardens , Chickens, Milk cows in their back yards without no concern for Modern Zoning ordinances. That Same family Could Pay their Druggist,GROCER, Family Doctor in Eggs,butter or Green Beans for Making a housecall for the common Cold ,.And Kids Knew it was Best To Always do Your Best, because they had never heard of Ritalin, And they Knew what a trip to the woodshed meant . ..
It Was Before USDA offices that could fine You more than they can Help You over a common practices that just a generation Ago made this Country Great ( PLOWING ). You could save Your Own Seed and Clean it And sell it to Your Neighbor or ship it to California without having to worry about being sued for PATENT RIGHTS and overly Cumbersome ICC regulations ... Cars had a different Look each Year and were usually better than the previous Year , Even though they Required A whole Lot More time and manpower . The 1st vehicle model hand carved of Wood (not computor modelGraphics) .
And if You Made your own Home brew And drank it No ONE cared ,If a cop noticed Your car at the bar , More often than not, He Would see You safely home upon Realizing You had too much to drink,Rather than throw you in the CLINK ... If the principal at your School saw you had a shotgun In Your Car , He would fatherly Ask You if You knew How to Use it Properly and responsibly ,And Would not Call The State Police and SWAT Team ..
Well This is My Frustration with this Modern Age ,, No doubt , Life Would had been Harder in 1939 , but Somehow it seemed to offer more promise in spite of All the unKnowns .. In Retrospect it Is far easier to Lookback on History and GOODTimes with fondness than to look into the dark or BRIGHT uncertain YET, unknown Future ,, I Yield
