I want to go back …
To when food was affordable
To when retirement savings were supportable
To when a tank of gas did not cost a half of a day’s pay
To when kids could safely play
To when making a medical choice was a right, not forced
To when law was respected and enforced
To when a human life was valued
To when dreams were prolifically pursued
To when people taught their children right from wrong
To when mental health was strong
To when you weren’t afraid in your own home
To when it was safe to internationally roam
To when school was viewed as a safe haven
To the life of the prior generation
To the core values of the culture I was raised in
Freedom, Pragmatism, Volunteerism, Mobility, Patriotism, Progress, American Dream, & Individualism
