I agree totally with this statement Barb! Really ashame that the world thinks we are overrun by homelessness, poverty, crime, and shoot-outs at noon for nostalgias sake. Oh, on the other hand, we are not all filthy rich carrying diamond studded little dogs around Rodeo Drive.
Most of us are fairly normal, law-abiding citizens trying to understand, as the nature of this thread, why the world has gone so out of control! It's an incredible heartache/heartbreak!
