I never went to a single school that had air conditioning. We did not live in a fully air conditioned house until I was in high school. A/C alone would keep me from going back in time.
There is a guy in OKC living at home today that does not have a heart. He is on the waiting list so in the meantime he has an artificial heart, and he is at home!
Times are different for sure. Somethings are not as they were. Most things are orders of magnitude better. At least in my world they are.

Glen,
Agree with you on the above material things but what about the lack of morality in our society these days? School kids cannot even spell let alone count or do simple math today.
Having a flat screen television or cell phone is not that important when you do not have a job, education or future...
