Things Really Were Better Then

Crazy people today are so much crazier than the crazies of the past. For example, today I read about an elementary school teacher who had sex with a dog and posted a video of it from her cellphone, and a transgender kindergarten teacher who identifies as a wolf and told his/her students as much.

This goes along with other dire developments in our evolution, like fat people being much fatter, mass shootings becoming commonplace and suicides rising among young people. In fact, almost everything is worse today except the number of cereals available in the supermarkets and going to the dentist.

I loved being a mother and I still do, but if I were a young woman this minute and became pregnant I would abort without a second thought. One can only imagine how babies born now will fare in the coming years. Will they all have sex with their teachers in elementary school ? Will they be obese by age eleven and have heart attacks and diabetes on the regular? Of course none of them will actually know anything since everyone will have an AI device implanted in their brain by their fifth birthday. Will they still know what trees and flowers and birds are? 

While growing old in today's youth-obsessed society is no picnic, what with random ills and diseases showing up willy-nilly, at least one has fabulous memories of when things were so much better. Here's a quick walk down memory lane to the good old days before the invention of the Internet, which has gradually turned our world into a waking nightmare.

The Good Humor Man drove past your house every night in summer!

1. Doctors valued their patients and took the time to educate them on how to be healthy.

2. People only wore pajamas and slippers at home, never out in public except if they were insane.

3. Obesity was rare and to be avoided rather than celebrated.

4. Elected leaders were reasonably intelligent, unlike Kamala Harris, AOC, Mayor Pete and Governor Hair Gel, all leading candidates for the 2028 Democratic Presidential nomination.

5. Music had recognizable melodies and lyrics were more than just illegibly shouting to a beat while grabbing one's crotch.

6. Flying was fun and special, with lovely stewardesses treating you like royalty, as opposed to today's short-tempered and often unkempt flight attendants herding you like cattle into a holding pen.

7. There were no people named Spam Risk, Spam Likely and Probably Fraud calling you on the phone.

8. The ice cream man drove right by your house every night in summer! (See photo.)
