[quote="Short Hand":19fbb]A time when people beleived in this.....

A time when to show any type of political beleif contrary to a mainstream could end up getting you on a list.

A time just after these bastards put a taint on the human race...

...a time when kids were taught that " i comes before e, except after c."

and ditto what Stackem said. Short Hand you need to learn to look at life as half full and not half empty. The examples you give can be looked at in two ways. You always choose the negative. How about trying to look at them in a positive light....Look at all the people who stood up to McCarthy and showed him for what he was? Obviously those people were in the majority or he would have kept going. Instead of looking at Hitler as something that generation produced, look at it as an evil that generation stood up to and conquered.
