[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4318044, member: 45773"] In some ways I'm way better off than I was in 1992. I bought a house in 92 and my VA interest rate was nearly 9%. My current mortgage is 2.1%. My time is mine now...not controlled by anyone. If I want to do something, I do it. Politically...I don't think it was drastically different. Clinton was elected and I thought that was the end of the world. We didn't have a lot of the hateful rhetoric we have now and we weren't quite so divided as a country...but I don't think politics has changed all that much. In what way has my brand of politics improved anything? Gun rights for one. Still not good enough but better than it was overall. CCW was barely a thing back then...it's the rule rather than the exception now. Roe v Wade is no longer. The ATF is getting b***h-slapped over and over by the SCOTUS now. That wasn't happening in 1992. If you're looking for a boogeyman, dude, you're looking in all the wrong places. Those are direct examples of your "idealism" being wrong. In terms of freedoms, sure...there are things I don't like. But generally I can do whatever I want to do, when I want to do it, and where I want to do it. I can go anywhere and not get stopped for my "papers". I can buy pretty much anything my means will allow. I can say pretty much anything I care to say, any time, any place. Maybe I just don't let these things get into my head like you do. You have the luxury of judging people for what happened 30-50 years ago without having to put your current decisions and actions under the same microscope. [/QUOTE]
