There was a time when you burned a flag....it was ONLY because it was done worn out.

And if you protested you were probably damn sure you were going to get your ass kicked if it wasn't for a good cause. Social warriors back than didn't hide behind keyboards unless they worked for the New York Times.

And you probably drove a car made in America that was half the size of Rhode Island BUT you could fix yourself with a screwdriver and some duct tape.  

And when you went for a hot cup of joe you probably made it yourself and if you didn't,  it sure as hell wasn't a low fat latte with sprinkles on it;

Homeless people back then were called hobos and they rode the rails, they sure as heck didn't smoke crack and beg for money on the interstate off ramps from yuppies driving imports. Even beggars had more courage then as they didn't do it anonymously over a computer.  

And families, well they ate meals together back then from natural ingredients from respected farmers who weren't corporate businesses from places you dang never heard of. 

When you owned a gun, nobody cared because everyone knew you probably weren't going to do anything stupid with it anyways. 

Back then, Mom's apple pie came from your own oven and not from Costco. And you'd sure miss that apple pie when you were gone serving your country. 

Gluten free was something only sick kids and communists ate.

But today I guess folks just love their Prius hybrids while being networked on Facebook all day eating their corporate store bought fake organic foods from Korea that they're too busy to even ponder these things I just mentioned. 

But the day may come when all the good things are lost and we are all just living our sheltered lives alone on the internet. And I guess the last person to hear my words at the end of the republic will have to burn that flag...not in anger or protest but in sadness to all that is lost.

What do you remember that may be lost from America today?
