Things I Miss and eDon`t Miss

Let me start by saying what I am missing is the right of everyone to have an opinion. Everyone has a right to speak and be heard. The protests these days that are are not permitting people to make public speeches is appalling. The fact that they are allowed to block speakers is more appalling.

I miss people with inner fortitude(commonly know as Balls) to express their views and actually maker a difference in everyday life.

I miss Green Stamps and waiting for the new Encyclopedia book to become available at the grocery store.

I miss the innocence of young children. As hard as parents try to shield their kids from the outside world they go school and hear and see what they are being shielded from.

I miss the time when there was only two genders. People can make up any gender they want to but there's still only two and yes, it may be hard to choose one but choosing none is an easy way out.

I miss Politicians with cajones. Now their only goal is to get reelected so they're eligible for the pension.

I miss having hope that people will actually change as they grow older. It seems that some will never change. These are the people who never reflect on their lives and are honest with themselves. I have become jaded as I've grown older.

I miss individualism. Every kid looks the same. Every guy has a beard and shaved hair. Tattoos are everywhere. I like being plain but plain these days is actually an individualistic behavior.

I don't miss Rhode Island.

I don't miss remembering my past.

I don't miss teaching High School.

I don't miss some members of my family.

I don't miss having neighbors ten feet from my house.

I don't miss working at a Tennis club.

I don't miss being able to afford only cheap seats at an event.

I do miss my friends who have died and my pets I've had to put down.

When I die.  I don't want to pass. Please no candle light vigil. Have the people use their time more wisely by volunteering at an animal shelter.
