Circa 1979.
Before 911. Before Hurricane Katrina. Before global warming. Before Chernobyl. Before houses worth became less than what we paid for them. Before the age of too much information. Before OJ allegedly (cough, cough) murdered his wife and an innocent bystander, before the Oklahoma City bombing, before the Columbine masacre, before Princess Diana died in a car crash, before the Rwandan Genocide, before Tianamen Square, the Challenger Explosion, Branch Davidians, Rodney King, the Asian Tsunami and several wars.
Ah. Those were simpler times, weren’t they? Seems like, even though catastrophes happened, they were just more spread out and you didn’t dwell on it so much, no?
Don’t you wish your children or grandchildren didn’t face such uncertain times and responsibilites? What obstacles and disasters are they going to be faced with? Makes me never want my children to leave the nest.
