[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 238048, member: 642"] The good old days! People would help one another and not ask or want anything in return. Never had the government handouts you have today. You worked or you went hungry. We had 3 huge gardens and they were about 1 1/2 acres each. Had to hoe them and pull weeks plus push mow the huge farm yard. Hated to pull those darn weeds then Dad planted more trees and we had to hoe and pull weeds in them too. Mom canned meat, fruit, and veggies from the garden then we gave the rest of it away. Dad had us go get everything from the gardens and he put it all in the pickup. We would then go to the old timers in the country and the towns and give it to them. You also treated older people with respect! Never back talked to your parents or any adult. Feared your teachers and the police and didn't disrespect them either. Getting to go to town once or twice a year and got a restaurant hamburger with a toasted bun and either a pop or a shake. Man we were in Heaven!!! Thought we had it tough but didn't know any different, and it sure didn't hurt us none. Wonder how these protestors would handle any of it. They would need more than a safe room with a safety pin.
