Once again being from that decade of the 70's. I found that we were a generation of misfits and had a deep criminal code in bedded in our souls. There was families of course that did no wrong. ( that came to light ) There's no excuses for the things I had learned. As I learned them I was told that many times. So therefore there's none! As with most things done then it wasn't done out of hate or anger. It may appear that way to some yet I promise it was not. Being mischievous is one thing. That is not what we were. We were from a small town where the stores closed at dark and the bars lit up! You couldn't get a soda after dark unless it was with a shot whiskey. Even though I was only a child unbelievably it was available. Most people parents in this town were divorced and or just not around. We had seen leave it to beaver, and the Cosby ( who ever thought ) . That was not our life. As the 70's were ending the 80's was starting something new. You see the only thing different about our little villa was we did things and were held accountable. Where as the rest of the people were not. An even though the beatings, the fights an the hangovers seemed life threatening. I found enjoyment in them an my life to be was on a fast track to be
