Mrs G2 and I used togo back to visit my Grandmother who lived in a small farming town in Ohio. We went on a week of the county fair one year, which is a big event every year. We were use to California where anything goes. 13 year olds allowed to smoke anywhere they wanted to (this was before all the current smoking laws), and the language that would make a sailor blush, girls and boys. The F-word was every 3 words, and nobody cared one bit about watching their language. EVen drunken sailors have the common sence to watch thier language when ladies are near. We were so struck when we went to the fair with my Granny, kids were polite, nobody swearing, not a single kid anywhere was smoking a cigarette. Kids were just having good clean fun. That was quite a few years back now, but still it just seems that there are no boundries anymore. Maybe I'm just old, but what I see is not good, and its only going to get worse.

I lost my good manners in the war with the Cylons. :cry:
