I always mentally scratch my head when someone says they prefer peace under a brutal dictator and world isolation over a more chaotic life under freedom and exposure to the world.
I don't get it.
I was born in 1952 in the Southern US. Times were more peaceful back then, too. 3 channels of TV, the worse crimes in school was chewing gum, "wait until your father comes home" had teeth, and the milkman left bottles in the little insulated box by the unlocked front door.
