and institutionalized in the police force etc. invisible except for the odd Rodney King incident and occasional hick truck drag... truly insipid... i would be more than interested to know about the Teapot dome scandal though, which i know nothing of...plenty of absent fathers nowadays including for myself...and have you forgotten your country bombing,almost back to the stone age,(twice), a country made up of more than 50% children!! + the children dying of hunger and from fighting wars

firstly let me please add that i was speaking hypothetically and with humour. i didn't realize that i was going back without the knowledge amassed in this life so far and without the striving to bring about change through re-education of the closed mind brigade (in charge of society even back then) as i have been doing for 20 years. + also that i ain't a coloured fella... kkk and racism are/is still alive and kicking although far more worryingly,usually underground now

Don't forget the black lynchings,the KKK march on Washington,the Teapot dome scandal,Warren Harding's illegitimate children etc.Children died of polio,measles,diptheria,scarlet fever due to No antibiotics.People went blind or died from bathtub gin Reality check please! The music and spirit of the '20's is what we long for but things have improved by an large
