I miss the good ol' days
Remember when Walter Cronkite used to tell ya the news and you believed it? When you could watch Jethro and Granny and Elly Mae and not such weirdo stuff? Remember when you could get an egg breakfast down at the corner for 99 cents? Remember when they used to beat each others' brains in on Sunday football games and the referees didn't call a penalty every stinkin' play? Remember when people used to get together to listen to records and not just listen by themselves on headphones? Remember when people used to tell the truth and not lie so much? Remember when it used to be exciting to see a girl's belly button?

I remember when there were signs on the bathrooms and water faucets that designated who could use them according to their GENDER. Sorry folks boys are boys and girls are girls just check the hardware its not that tough to figure out. No I know some people have real issues for those that do gender neutral bathrooms are an option. Stoneman, Yes the world is still full of hatred and bigots and all sorts of nastiness you are one who chooses to stand in the face of that and are a beacon of light. Through all your struggles and pain you choose a positive message for that and many other reasons you are not simply a good man but a great man. Much respect. Two Silo Complex, Ken

Well Stoneman, you said it, lived through all that abuse, and there have been tough times you endured. but still really you provide some wonderful insight and principles here that you have lived by, I know it is discouraging seeing the world and the political situation so messed up, but in spite of all that, we manage. no matter the challenges carry on your good works bryon

I remember when there were signs on the bathrooms and water faucets that designated who could use them according to their race. I remember being spit on and called a baby killer by peaceniks when I came home from Vietnam I remember when my wife and I had to petition the court to get married just because she is Filipino and I am Black. I remember being followed by the police to my new home just because they didn't think that people who look like me could afford my neighborhood. Well, I guess the good old days that you all remember were not that great for people like me. But I remember those days just as vividly as you do. Actually, for people like me, not much has really changed. Fuck the good old days. They weren't shit! Neither are these days. Hatred and discrimination is still alive and well. My faith in the ability of people to change for the better continues to be eroded by the daily headlines. What a sad state of bulshit this world is in.
