Do you have to have something playing at home all the time?

I’m really sorry to hear that. It’s happened to a lot of families. Being okder Gen X, I can truly say I don’t recognize this country anymore. There used to be a vibe of community cooperation and courtesy. People would try to help the old lady struggling to make change that might not speak English rather than screaming at them to go home. For a brief minute in the late 60s and early 70s, it looked like we could develop into a true, multicultural melting pot. At least this little idealistic PBS raised kid thought so. We were embarrassed by and knew were better than slavery, that immigrants formed the backbone of our society (and infrastructure.). Mr Rogers taught us kindness and Sesame street taught us to count to ten in Spanish, and most of everything else that we were taught was based on tolerance. The culture of cruelty that has replaced that of our childhoods has surpassed anything I’d envisioned when we started down this road and the 80s and honestly worse than anything. I envisioned nine years ago, but here we are. I keep hearing how people are waking up, but it might be too little too late. Truly dark times as democracy circles the drain. Hang in there.
