I remember growing up having my 12 gauge shotgun and 7MM rifle in the gun rack of my truck. Nothing chambered but they were loaded with extra ammo in the glove box. Sometimes we’d go hunting before or after school so we just kept the stuff with us. Unlocked, keys left in the ignition. To top it off I was legally driving to school and work at 14 with my school permit so I wasn’t even 16 yet.
I really miss the society I grew up knowing, things are so fucked these days.
Shit, I don’t know, I’m not sure I’m intelligent enough to answer that but I think I’d need to put a lot of time analyzing things. All of us kids would hang out at the co-op, park, or miniature park stuffed between two stores on Main Street, like every evening/night. I’d get off work washing dishes and walk across the street and just hang out with whoever was there. Like nobody needed to be your friend or whatever to hang out and shoot the shit before going home. Everyone just accepted folks and would watch out for each other shit. The worst we ever did back then was walk down Main Street (it had middle of the road parking in addition to store front pull in parking) at night and open up all the cars to turn their radio volume knob’s up to Max so when folks left the bar to turn their car on the radio was playing whatever station on full blast.
I don’t know, just simpler times I feel like. Folks growing up these days are having to deal with so much extra shit, I don’t think a lot of kids are getting to enjoy being kids anymore and it’s gotta be fucking with their heads.
Reminds me of the time I came home at 5:30 AM to my apartment in center city Philadelphia and saw a bread roll neatly tucked under the windshield wiper of every car parked along South Street. Nobody seems to know this, but the bakery that makes the rolls for all those Philly cheesesteaks just dumps transparent plastic bags full of rolls on the sidewalk in front of each restaurant in the early hours, and some wag just decided to put them to better use. I’m genuinely surprised I only saw that once.

Keep thinking. Look around when you are out in public see if you notice anything .
