Remember, Kamala Harris is set to Become President if Joe Dies. Keep that in Mind when Voting for Really Old Men... Trump is Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hell's Door also... and We don't know WHO his Vice President Will Be...
Of Course, Since I Live in California MY VOTE Doesn't Really Matter... all Electoral College Votes will go to the Democratic Candidate... I Skipped Voting in 2016 and California Went to Hillary... Somehow They Got along without Me just fine...

In 2024 I Will Vote for Joe Biden if He Survives until Election Day... Because Kamala Would make a Fine President... and We MUST BEAT TRUMP LIKE A PINATA!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL BORN IN 1930's, 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's and Early 80's !!! First, you survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, your baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints. You had no childproof lids on medicine ..medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when you rode your bikes, you had no helmets, not to mention, the risks you took hitch-hiking .. As children, you would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun. You drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle. You shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. You ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but you weren't overweight because...... YOU WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
You would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on. No one was able to reach you all day. And you were OK. You would spend hours building your go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out you forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, you learned to solve the problem . You did not have Play stations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........YOU HAD FRIENDS and you went outside and found them! You fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents you played with worms(well most boys did) and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. You made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although you were told it would happen, you did not poke out any eyes. You rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing you out if you broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. You had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and you learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were

and I Replied:
Yes... we survived... But the world has changed permanently and we have to modify our behavior to the new circumstances...
I survived having sex without a rubber (before AIDS was Invented)
I Took LSD Made by Criminals who were Working High during the manufacturing process... but NOW... Kids are Dying from Fentanyl... I do remember cutting the LSD gelatin squares into four parts and only eating One Quarter of a Dose just to see if the quality was good... if it wasn't good I'd give away the rest...
My Wife and I were riding bicycles without helmets and she had an accident and whacked her head - so she sat down on the side of the road for 30 minutes... and then felt like continuing the bike ride... I WISH WE HAD HELMETS...
and One Last Comment... Many of our Parents read the Dr. Spock Book: Baby and Child Care... That was a Major Influence for the "Baby Boom" Generation...
The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care is a book by American pediatrician Benjamin Spock and one of the best-selling books of the twentieth century, selling 500,000 copies in the six months after its initial publication in 1946 and 50 million by the time of Spock's death in 1998.[1] As of 2011, the book had been translated into 39 languages.[2]
Spock and his manual helped revolutionize child-rearing methods for the post-World War II generation. Mothers heavily relied on Spock's advice and appreciated his friendly, reassuring tone.[3] Spock emphasizes in his book that, above all, parents should have confidence in their abilities and trust their instincts. The famous first line of the book reads, "Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."[4]

The famous first line of the book reads, "Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."[4]
As a practicing pediatrician in the 1930s, Spock noticed that prevailing methods in pediatric care seemed cruel and ignored the emotional needs of the child. He wanted to explore the psychological reasons behind common problems seen during practices like breastfeeding and toilet training, in order to give less arbitrary advice to mothers who came to his practice. He thus became trained in psychoanalysis, emerging as the first pediatrician with a psychoanalytic background. Seeking useful ways to implement Freudian philosophy into child-rearing practices, Spock would try out his advice on patients and their mothers, continuously seeking their response.[11] He contradicted contemporary norms in child care by supporting flexibility instead of rigidity and encouraging parents to show affection for their children.[12]
