Right.

The same stuff was going on 40 years ago, but without the internet it was easier for [them] to conceal [their] nefarious activities.

Everyone seemed a lot happier and times were a lot simpler, anyhow, so that's what I miss the most.

yes i totally agree. i grew up safe and secure in my life anywhere i went. 15 miles on a back road to the next town over just for a long bike ride or walking by myself to the movie theater in the next town 2 miles away. church school environments safe. town knew all the kids, their parents. their houses.. no secrets and parents didnt tell.any dirt to the kids.. i was blessed. and we all knew it. but all i was saying was behind all that the evil was happening without anyone knowing it. they kept the workers bees just happy and secure enough to get away with their future plans... that is the saddest part. and the most important part... to NEVER let slow changes to occur that will signficantly change our futures.. like now
