I was a wonderin who the VF band was.. Thankfully never heard 'em I guess. GOB..I really wasn't kidding about the 50s being pretty bad. Everybody where i lived was poor..different degrees of poor but that way nonetheless. We had lots of tenant farmers..and the average farmer made a living with his 100 acres or so 4-10 cows some chickens hogs..well you understand. They didn't have money but they had 'nuff to eat. and the little money from the crops and milk they sold helped 'em along. Gas was a whole 15-18 cents a gallon. After the democraps got in power in the early 60s things changed. Welfare got goin..and I had all the farm type work I wanted. I had a pool room that catered to teens etc in the early to mid 60's. Made a lot of money with it..more'n my mother and father combined.I put money in the bank and bought them a house in the later 60's after I closed the pool room. The young black kids I grew up with were comin to the pool room and the older folks in town didn't want to have that happenin..So we closed her down.I grew up in a kinda southern type of rural area. Things were a changin..but the older folks really didn't want the change. Now..since I is the older folk..I kinda understand. Nobody likes change..especially Nobama's change. He's doing things now by presidential order..and that ain't right....but that is kinda what LBJ did in the 60's.
