...people had pen pals?

...maintaining friendships was a priority?

...people asked, "How are you?" and were genuinely interested in your reply?

...sex and love were related to one another?

...you actually knew the names of your neighbors on your entire street block and not just the ones next door?

...discipline was an expectation and not a crime?

...society abhorred violence?

...saying hello to strangers was the norm and not the exception?

...teenagers spent more time preparing for graduation than prom?

...telling someone, "You are beautiful" was a compliment and not sexual harassment?

...your parents could tell you to go outside and play and not worry about a drive by, kidnapping or stray bullet?

...people married until "death do you part" instead of until "you get on my last nerve"?

I remember.
