[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 3054097, member: 72440"] I agree with you having grown up in the 60s with a neighborhood full of kids to play ball with, making the 1.5 hour trek to my grand parents house for the holidays to see my aunts and uncles and cousins. Adult played cards most the times, kids just played with each other, TV on not so much at all. Now it is the devices and video games and god know what else is online. I did not have a long trek to school, but walked everyday. My dad told me enjoy being a kid because when school ends whether high school or college you will work the rest of your life. My daughters I did not not want them to work until they graduated out of high school, knowing they were both going to college. My first wife balked at this as well as my funding their college, buying them cars, etc. But I knew life will be hard when they grew up. I am thankful for my memories good and bad. My daughter from my 2nd marriage, goes shooting with me when we can, I treat her the same as the other two, no grand kids though. But life now is different as our country is degrading in what I believe is our morale compass and as a country. The media touts globalism as the theme mimicking the political party in power at the national, state and local levels versus nationalism. It is a shame as those of us that have traveled extensively around our world understands our freedoms only we enjoy, especially when you see how other countries are run. I am not against immigration but understand we must do what is right for our country and not let things be a free for all. As 9/11 was not that long ago, and terrorist organizations still exist that want to bring harm to our nation and our citizens. I am proud to be an American. I hope some day soon we will all be united again. [/QUOTE]
