I get sick to my stomach thinking of what fabulous wealth and treasure the US had 40-60 years ago and how it's been flushed down the toilet.
I searched for images taken in the 70s, which is when I was in high school.Quote:

I used to enjoy riding my old banana-seat bicycle when I was a youngster.
I got a turquoise one with a solid rubber front tire at a garage sale for $10. I hated that thing. My neighbors had a long concrete driveway. If you got the front tire in an expansion joint it was 50/50 if you were turning out of it or wiping out. That and the solid feel of the road cured me from ever wanting a Hardtail for sure.Quote:

The Clinton lie that if we "send jobs to Mexico, illegals will stop coming here" has also been soundly disproven.Quote:
