Did the pledge of allegiance every day until high school. If you were in boy scouts, you could do the salute.
Things were a lot better back then, you had pride in the country and the only thing people worried about is if it was going to rain on Friday.
Nowadays people can't wait to sue schools, get money, worry about terrorism, blame the country, etc.
I want a time machine. I want to go back to 88-89.
