You know when men were men and a dollar was worth a dollar by god. Back when Huey Long promised to make every Man a King and put a chicken in every pot.

nostalgia ain't what it used to be...

Men have always been men (except when they were mice). 2. A dollar is still worth a dollar. 3. Some men are queens. 4. Did Huey actually mean to say pot in every chicken?  |

Ummm No
The days when blacks were negros. The days woman were slaves. The days people could be lynched. The days homosexuals were arrested. The days Japanese were in internment camps. The days everyone had to follow 'The American Dream'. Ill pass. -Ayame Sapeur _____________________

4. Did Huey actually mean to say pot in every chicken? This could explain why whenever I eat those tie-died eggs I forget what I had to do and spend the rest of the day watching cartoon network and giggling hysterically... _____________________

Well I wasn't following the American Dream as I'm in England but there were good and bad things in the good old days. Not as much crime but houses were freezing in winter. I remember icicles inside the windows. Every year we'd get chilblains. You don't see those much these days or Jack Frost's pretty patterns. Women did the same jobs for less money and had to leave permanently on having a baby - up to the mid-Sixties at least it was common for a woman to leave on marriage alone.

I would like to see the days return when the Republicans had a heart and passed along with the Democrats all those packages for the Poor that they did in the 1960's and early 1970's. Only Newt's coup destroyed these packages that were helping the poor dispite the underfunding that President Reagan and President George H.W. Bush did to it. What is wrong with helping the poor? |
