The living had to have been good then. But then, that's probably just me romanticizing what never really was or will be.

I firmly believe things were better back then, in the ways that matter most, as you can tell my my earlier ramblings in the Bilge section:

It shouldn't take more than a walk around Disneyland nowadays to see the peeling paint, decayed fake rocks along the submarine lagoon, an empty submarine lagoon with only ducks and trash floating in it, the removed Skyway, the empty Peoplemover/Rocket Rods track, the new simulator rides based on popular scifi movies that substitute for real vehicles with educational themes, the horrible kiddie show on the same Tomorrowland stage that used to feature classy and famous rock/pop groups, kids wandering around twirling those stupid light toys, most of the serious postcards of attractions removed in favor of a very limited selection of character postcards, endless kids pampered with being strollered around instead of getting real exercise, etc. to see that things have noticably declined in Disneyland. I've spent less time at WDW, but considering the monorail transport to the parking lot was broken down the last time I visited, and their sub ride was also removed, I doubt WDW is doing much better. In fact, the only reason I have time to post here so often is because I was illegally fired from my last job, with fabricated evidence, lies, ignored medical evidence, etc., so now I'm out of work and have to hire a lawyer to slap the bastards back with no job income. It's been that way ever since I graduated 5 years ago, in fact: problems I'd never had my entire life until recently. I maintain that society is in serious decline, especially in ethics and values. Give me the past anyday, and let me stroll around the theme parks of yesteryear.
