I have become Gilbert Hunter, my grandfather.
Grandpa Hunter worked through The Great Depression, survived World War II in Okinawa, then came home and in his final years, he did not recognize the country he grew up in.
Me, too Grandpa...me, too.
I see a country that has been held accountable for its past actions, and that is a good thing, but at some point we went past what was necessary and have become...blinded...or ignorant...or both.
It is funny.
Growing up, I always loved history and saw that there wasn't really anything going on that I remember reading about in the "old days" (I know now that not to be true).
I just never thought that I would live through all of that "old days" history in just a few short years.
From a pandemic (flu vs covid) to civil rights (60's vs. BLM) to blind following of a leader or belief system (Hitler vs. Trump and Hamas).
I often wondered how such smart people could fall for such nonsense.
But I am seeing it in real time.
Maybe it's me and not everyone else, but...
I wonder what has happened to the country that I grew up in.
Now allow me to yell at these kids on my lawn...
