Re: [RC] Older - Bette Lamore

Hey, Barb, we're NOT talking the Dark Ages here, or the year of the Great Flu or bubonic plague ;-)
We're talking about the 60's and 70's and they had invented penicillin and even computers! I just feel there wasn't the amount of public porn, violence, materialism, (how 'bout that reality TV --- do you remember anyone eating lizard eyes on TV for $$$ then?) and yes, I guess I'm old fashioned, yet I liked the old TV shows like MASH -- which was the raciest one then, Barnie Miller, Mr. Ed..... clever yet without excessive explicit sex and strong language (and yes, 4 letters still emerge when I get stepped on by my horse -- (how's that for a tie-in to endurance, John and Steph?) ). It seems to me MY large circle of friends/acquaintances were more into backpacking and riding -- anything from dirt bikes to horses) and less into Cosmopolitan magazine. This has been called the X generation and yes there are exceptions and yes I want to get my daughter back into riding again -- seems all most kids want to do now-a-days is go clubbing/partying -- and we are rural yet close to college towns and a few hours from the "City." Good luck keeping your kids "down on the farm" after they've seen M-TV!
Bette, who still has her Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Steve Miller, Stevie Wonder, The Association (Dates me-- really!).. Moody Blues.... vinyl RECORDS -- eat your heart out Bruce! ;-)

a ride !! "

The interesting part of this statement is....this is what people have been saying for hundreds of years. "The good old days" were better than the present ones. Sorry, I don't buy that one. The simplicity of the past, in some ways was better, but there are some things about the present that I wouldn't trade for ANYTHING. Better health care comes to mind. Imagine living your life in fear of some dread disease that was incurable, or in fear of bearing children with the possibility of dying in childbirth, or the fear of losing half of the children you bore to the typical childhood diseases that claimed so many. NO THANK YOU! We can simplify our lives if we try....we don't have to get caught up in the confusion of modern life if we work at it. At least those of us who live in or near the rural areas can do this. I think a lot of the confusion of modern times is in our minds, and we can avoid it with some effort on our part.
