I grew up in the 60's. I remember going to the store to buy cigarettes for my mother at 25 cents a pack!!! Gas was $.29 a gallon and a pack of gum was 5 cents.

I could go anywhere on my bicycle without the fear of some pedophile trying to abduct me from my own backyard.

My friends were made of up all races. There was no such thing as discrimination. We lived in the projects and could sit outside on our front steps without worrying about flying bullets, drugs deals, etc.

Times have DEFINITELY changed, sadly.
