Just thinking back here. I was born in 47 and thinking i lived through possibly [View all]

The best times EVER (40's 50's 60's 70's) Didn't realize it then BUT do now! Now i also feel like i'm living through the WORST time of my life!! This wonderful country is seeing changes i never thought possible! I've been very lucky, and i'm REALLY concerned what my children and Grandchildren will go through. We need to win in 2020, for our kids and for our country!!!
