RE: Oh strange, what do I hear not much of lately ?

Again my deepest apologies for disrupting your online pursuits in this lengthy matter relating to my post. I severely dislike those who have been not nice to steemit, but regardless Steemit is an open forum; however I never intended to waste your free time like this. So apologies again . . .

Personally What I would like is to take all my modern conveniences like netflix and internet and drop back into 1950 where , cooperation, politeness, respect and manners meant something; but it is just not going to happen...

Regardless of that I had no good cause to disturb your day; bye 4 now & /hugz...

I've been puzzled over this nostalgia for the 1950s. I was born early in that decade (yeah, I'm OLD). I drank from a whites-only water fountain and went to a segregated school. My husband saw a black man hanging from a tree. Gays were closeted. My mother spent a day a week boiling water over a fire in the yard to wash our clothes. If my father hadn't hunted and fished, we would have been hungry. People lost their professions over their political beliefs. Not to burst your bubble, but whether the 1950s were a great time depends on your point of view. Manners hid a dark underbelly where it was accepted that wives and children could be abused.

Thanks for an interesting discussion.
