]]> Comment on So Very Few by Byron King http://byronking.com/art/writing/so-very-few/comment-page-1#comment-1822 Byron King Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:26:53 +0000 http://www.globatron.org/?p=10665#comment-1822 The world was backward and I was young. There were as many wrongs as there were rights growing up in a small town. Segregation was newly implemented. There were murders and there were kids who went missing and were only ever seen again on milk cartons. There was no 24 news cycle which has I believe has poisoned our society and America as we once knew it. We might have been more ignorant of what was going on in the world but to some degree, that type of ignorance was bliss. I am proud of the freedom we have achieved for minorities of all types. I am proud that our LGBT friends and family no longer has to hide in a closet that our society forced them into. I suppose to some extent each generation looks back and believes that the grass was greener. Now I have two girls of my own to raise and I do remember those backyards and the group of kids that I would do everything with, all summer long. I wish I could let my girls go out freely into the neighborhood now and not think twice about them being abducted. Sadly, those days are over. The world was backward and I was young.
