it was all those "1960's"...

too bad the world can't return to the perfection of the "1950's"... i know what it was like. i saw "leave it to beaver" reruns! LOL!

and i be there weren't any "illegal mexicans" in the usa at that point, George, and that the blacks and women knew their place.

sure it was all the fault of the "1960's"! ROFLOL!
