I am guilty of allowing myself to feel negativity towards the"product" because I see people allowing themselves to forget about LIFE because they have gotten so focused on the gizmos,,,He said,Typing on his Kindle..
I was reminiscing today,AHH,those years,living N.of Houston,only house for 5blocks, I could cross the street,go 50 yards,cross the bayou and keep going that way and I never found a fence out that way.. Not a house,never saw anyone,,and not one soul knew where I was..And I wondered,the kind of kid I was,what would they Do to me today? What drugs would the school system want me on?
Yea....me too. When I was in 3rd grade, my mother was taking classes at Kent State University so she could get her teaching degree. it was somewhere around 1963 or 64. She took summer classes, and I would go with her and hang around outside in the park while she was in classes. They had black squirrels there,,,,and I liked to watch them. So.....while she was in class, I was 8.5 years old and hanging around alone on a college campus. No one cared, no one worried, no one called the Police and my Mom didn't get arrested for neglect or for child endangerment.
