Shit, I don’t know, I’m not sure I’m intelligent enough to answer that but I think I’d need to put a lot of time analyzing things. All of us kids would hang out at the co-op, park, or miniature park stuffed between two stores on Main Street, like every evening/night. I’d get off work washing dishes and walk across the street and just hang out with whoever was there. Like nobody needed to be your friend or whatever to hang out and shoot the shit before going home. Everyone just accepted folks and would watch out for each other shit. The worst we ever did back then was walk down Main Street (it had middle of the road parking in addition to store front pull in parking) at night and open up all the cars to turn their radio volume knob’s up to Max so when folks left the bar to turn their car on the radio was playing whatever station on full blast.

I don’t know, just simpler times I feel like. Folks growing up these days are having to deal with so much extra shit, I don’t think a lot of kids are getting to enjoy being kids anymore and it’s gotta be fucking with their heads.

Keep thinking. Look around when you are out in public see if you notice anything .
