  • The really sad thing about being old (I was born in the SF bay area 1933) is

    that you know how nice it use to be.

    When you compare the pre-war (WWii) with today you want to cry.

    Today's generation have no idea how great the bay area use to be.

    Now when I visit Oakland where I was born we have to make sure

    the car doors are locked and the windows are rolled up.

    San Francisco's roads are really falling apart and the town is over-run

    with homeless druggies.

    This video is great but makes me sad also

  • @Affentanz don't forget back 60 years ago,  unemployment was almost 0%, gas prices was cheap, Americans had moral values, every product was American made, our infrastructure was first class, and buying a house was affordable to all Americans. Compare it to today's society, we have high unemployment, manufacturing jobs have been outsourced overseas, high fuel prices, inflation out of control, massive amout of foreclosures, and we have the worst infrastructure . Go figure.

  • @kngkrl22 I agree, everything is now bad and ruined, EXCEPT for Goldman Sachs, Bernanke&Co and Wall Street swindlers. They are making trillions.
