What you've done is demonstrate the nostalgic folly of the OP, the things you list there are the BAD things that happened (sans MLK, though many remember that as bad too), while he was feting the GOOD things which he merely perceived to be true in his narrow sphere of personal knowledge. It's ok to be nostalgic, we all have our own triggers that cause us to want the simpler times of our youth, but adults realize that those good things we remember aren't always as wonderful as we remember them. And you also can't go home again.

WRONG! Objective facts are also memories...All of which I mentioned and much much more are memories...I will admit that some memories change over time but not all do...If a Jewish man who survived the Nazi death camps tells his story, it's from memories...Pretty much anything told from the past is a memory, sometimes info is added to the story making it a tale of sorts, but it's still a memory...

Tell me...where do memories originate from? Never mind, I'll tell you...Memories come from things that really happened that people remember
