Today's people may read of the circumstances of those days but they cannot be expected to truly understand them. It is possible to survive without welfare, Social Security, and Medicaid, but to those forced to live without them, there is a whole lot of miserable existence which only the heroic among us can survive. I lived in "The Days Before" and I know whereof I speak. I can recall as a small child asking my mother, "Why can't we live in the days of fairy tales? Princesses lived in castles with beautiful things and had servants to do all the work."
Mother's reply was succinct and spoken with the wisdom of the ages, "What makes you think that, if you had lived in those days, YOU would be the princess and not the servant?"
