I cracked up pretty much reading that. Some of that is true, some of it is a little extreme but overall you got the point down. Comparing now to back then... A LOT has changed hasn't it? Scares the crap out of my dad sometimes too.

1957: Wife never leaves the kitchen, gays stay in the closet and minorities get fire-hosed on street corners.

2013: Black president. Female Secretary of State. Gays are on the verge of being allowed to get married across the country.

So, it's not all bad Raijin. :)

This alone makes me glad to live in 2013. In 1957, my girlfriend and I wouldn't allowed to be so open about our relationship.

The whole leaving guns in your truck can and will get you arrested. I can verify that one. Random school search, I had no idea I even had a pistol in the truck. And this is in Georgia, everybody has a gun all the time.
