 It was another world 

Can you imagine, anymore, picking someone up at the airport and being able walk to the gate and greet them as they get off the plane.

Not getting felt-up when going to your plane.

I really don’t care what people do, to themselves, but men were men, women were women, and everyone knew the difference.

I could keep going but I don’t want to offend current sensibilities 

Nostalgia is fun, but there’s ancient Chinese proverb, in chaos there is opportunity.

Lots of opportunities today.

Lets enjoy and capitalize on the change.

Anyone with bitcoin is already in the game.  People in the future will wish they were here
