Life was much simpler

Gay was a state of mind, not a way of life

It was OK to play cowboys and indians

Your parents had to worry about paying the bills

War happened in other countries

Politicians were a little nicer to each other

National Geographic was the accepted way for a young boy to see naked women

A kid could take the bus downtown without his parents having to worry about his safety

And if memory serves me, the snow was always deeper when walking both ways up hill when you went to school
