Yes me too. My village was like Mayberry before the 1960s. My kids were born in ’66 and ’67. We lived five houses away from the schools I went to. ’49-’62. On account of the dreamers, molders, trouble makers etc…
Unfortunately, on account of TPTB, my kids had to be bussed to a school 3 miles NORTH. A lower income minority area neighborhood. One day they tried to steal my sons new sneakers while he was WEARING them.
Look at the problems in the Middle east now. Merging integrating western ways with the others was a big mistake. That’s a whole nother story.
