Do you remember watching movies at the Drive-In, in your pj's??
Do you remember the First Episode of Batman on tv?
Do you remember those 4-pronged TB tests, or drinking Polio vaccine from little paper cups (and how ultra-sweet that stuff was?)?
Do you remember watching the First Moon landing on tv (beyond words!) ?
Do you remember when "Dark Shadows" started? (Our mom wouldn't let us watch it !)

'Hope guides me. It is what gets me through the day, and especially the night.' -- A Knight's Tale "I talk to you as I talk to my own soul...and, Sassenach,” he whispered, “your face is my heart.” -- Jamie Fraser, "Dragonfly In Amber" by Diana Gabaldon @Dremnghrt on Twitter, Dreamnghrt on tumblr - come say Hi!
Do you remember 5 cent cokes? 10 cent cokes? Nickle candy bars?

“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”
~ Dalai Lama 21st century spiritual and political leader of Tibet and Nobel Peace Prize winner (1989)
Walter Cronkite giving the number of days of the Iranian hostage crisis
prayer in school,
putting peanuts in your coke,
fallout shelters,
clackers. (I know someone else remembers these)
the Beta max was about $450, the VCR was about $600, and the CD player was about $500.
the 20 lb cell phone,
I better stop or I'll look up from this computer and think I'm in 1969.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. ~Mark Twain

Wow. I'd like to book a trip into that alternate universe. Guess maybe it depends on what the definition of 'honest' is. But then, did we ever determine what the definition of 'is' is?
