You have to love the Eagles. Listening to it takes me back in time. Back to a time I believed in America and knew our leaders were honest and looking out for the best interests of America. I know now that was all illusion. I sometimes wish I could go back to those simpler days and my blissful ignorance.
Oh yes back to the days of Andy's down-home wisdom. Most families were versions of Leave it to Beaver. Kids could play outside from dawn to dusk and parents did not worry about some pervert. When you did something wrong and a neighbor spanked you the fear they would tell your parents and you would get another one when you got home. Yes I would love to see America return to that era.

Unfortunately, I did not write down where I found it, and it is one of my favorites. As I remember, my daughters were terrified of "Spearfinger" The Wicked Witch Of Nantahala! BT)
"I do not say what I know to be, I only tell what was told to me." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just think how times have changed considering this:
When I was a boy, my mother would say "If it snows, you don't see Brock from after breakfast until it's dark."
Can you imagine this today? She didn't have a worry in the world, as she knew someone would look out for, feed, and/or chastise me.

Exactly as I was raised, fortunately.
