oxydolfan1, AN UNARMED NATION, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAM MIND. SADDAM GASED THOUSANDS OF HIS OWN PEOPLE. when the towers was bombed the first time on Clintons watch, what did he do about it? No balls!
 
Then why did your president say, to the world,

"We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks?"

Why did your president pull out of Afghanistan, where Osama bin Laden REALLY was, before the job was done, and send the troops to Iraq?

And why did your president, when questioned about bin Laden's whereabouts, say,

"I, uh, I don't, uh, you know, I don't really spend much time thinking about Osama bin Laden....."

Why did the Republican war machine then build UP Saddam, when they were well aware of what he was doing, so they play him against Iran?

< crickets >
 
Incidentally, were not the terrorists from the first WTC attack apprehended and successfully tried, as a result of the Clinton approach toward dealing with terrorism....as a law enforcement and not a military matter?

Perhaps the evilian who preferred to read "My Pet Goat" to children rather than tend to business didn't believe in micromanaging things?

Perhaps our Strategic Air Command loves dealing with stand-down orders while planes are making U-turns in the sky?
 
Oh Don.

If there is a God, I'm sure he holds a special place for you as well.
I will pray for you. I'm sure you mean well.
 
Getting back to the 1950's & 1960's, well I was born in 1959 and my childhood in the 60's and early 70's was great....for the most part. I'm glad that I can remember all the different kinds of laundry detergents that many of us here would give their eye teeth to smell and use again. To remember actual real Norges, Westy's, etc. etc. in everyday household and laundrymat use. To remember NOT having to look the screen door on a summer's evening, to go shopping in a real dept. store. To travel by train. I'm glad that I did grow up when I did.
I wonder what kids today will cherish when they get older.

It seems that some of the true joys of life today are few and far between. I see many signs in todays world and life that really has me concerned about all of our futures, gay/straight rich/poor...doesn't matter. I keep focused, live my life, and recall at times some of the wonder of yesteryear.
 
Louis, this is true because I have three daughters 10,12,and 13,and they already look back on their early years,like the times we went fishing,and camping. They talk about christmas mornings from 3 and 5 years ago with fond memories. In the future Im sure they will remember Daddy playing with his antique washers. Im hoping to leave my washer fortune with them one day. I would turn over in my grave if they let them go to the krusher.Ha Ha Don
 
I was born in 1949 so I have lots of remembrances of the 50's. I too would go looking for the washing machines. Since we lived on the farm until 1960 all of my parent's friends had wringer machines. Here are the ones that I remember: Ge, Conlon, Philco, Modern Maid, Maytag, Thor, Mont. Wards, ABC, Dexter, Kenmore and Apex.
For automatics: Coronado (we had that one) Kenmore, Bendix, Westinghouse, Norge, Hamilton, Easy, Speed Queen,Abc, Frigidaire,GE. I would nose around in the basements,(no permisson from anyone) and laundry rooms. All kinds of cleaning products too, 50's: Wisk in a metal bottle- can. American Family soap flakes and detergent, Oxyodol, Rinso Blue, Breeze, Tide, Surf ( the no rinse detergent) oh that was a good idea, NOT, Fels Naptha, Blue Cheer, Fab in the gold box, Duz. The 60's: all of the previous products and, All, Dash, Ad,Vim, Salvo. Clorox in the 50's came in a dark brown glass bottle. Fabric softeners in the 50's: Nu Soft, Downy. I would go into the A&P with mom and go to the laundry products and sniff all of the boxes to see what scent they all had. (ok, I still do this)lol Have fun. Abcomatic
