Layah, it's true- a lot about the good old days was pretty bad. We old farts all know this. My dad may have worked on the intitial stages of Agent Orange development- it was so top secret, even he isn't sure, but guesses that was what it was about.
BUT- as more and more water passes under the bridge, the good parts of the bad old days do take on a rosy glow. Just you wait. Even Nintendo will bring on that old warm smile when your hairs are turning silver!
