It was not an idyllic time but there was a basic decency, respect for others and lack of crime that is entirely missing from todays society and I really do miss that feeling of trust in your fellow citizens.
Some gave their all.

Yes David but you have to remember that today’s generations and society has so much more important things to worry about.

What sex will I embrace today?
Am I offended by something today?
What activist cause will I embrace today?.....ooh look something shiny...
Which religion offends me today?
Is the sky falling?
Who can I tell how to live their life today?
What can I take away from those who have worked hard all their lives today?
And how can I get them to give it to me?
