Jerry, I usually enjoy your posts, and agree with alot of what you've said here. I take exception to your 40"s take . When we wax nostalgic about those years -we are not missing the lynchings, the holocaust, segregation or any of those dark historical happenings. We speak of the wonderful music & movies,Joltin' Joe, Joe Louis. When little girls pushed doll carriages, Ladies didn't curse or smoke on the street, People dressed up to go to church,kids were safe. Old people were respected and one never sassed a teacher, and most families gathered around the radio. We laughed together & couldn't wait for McGee to open that closet door. Corny-Yes. But we were alot happier and our families were closer. Slainte
