Sure has been a lot of changes in 40 years! Probably not for the best either! I understand the personal part, we all grow old, what is harder to understand is the political part, how & why did we fail???

I blame a lot of the countries problems on the educational system from K through college.

40 years ago I had a sailboat on a lake in Iowa and could benchpress 300Lbs....now I weigh 300 Lbs and have to use a scooter to get around. I'd rather be sailing!!
