Martin Luther King Jr’s content of character vs color of skin argument would be mainstream and excepted 20 years from now.
If that guy was walking down MLK boulevard in any metropolitan area (Street dedicated to him) today he would be robbed, beaten to death and the video of it would go viral… and not be taken down by the same people that censor us.

The FAA issues safety information in a timely manner to people who fly airplanes via the NOTAM system. Since the time of the Wright Brothers until today, NOTAM stood for Notice to AIRMEN.

We were still one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. And God is not dead. Rat Fink, I didn’t believe hiding under my desk in case we were nuked by the Russkies would save my life, no matter what Bert the indoctrination turtle said when I was 6 and 7 years old in first and second grade in 1959 and 60. And it was truth, justice and the American way, if Superman said that now he’d be accused of being a bigot, a homophobe, racist, zenophobe etc.

Most of these comments about things that are no longer facts are incorrect. Most of these things are still facts. Don’t give in to cynicism.
If you’re a Christian, keep watch and pray, and push back the evil in the world.

High school cliques don’t matter; when you grow up, you’ll be judged on merit, not popularity and connections.
Turns out, the world is run by the nitwits who ran the student government association –and they’re still cheating to get re-elected and get their friends all the perks.

If you’re in trouble, a cop will help you.
Also, every single prediction about future weather patterns.

That your English teacher in high school was actually trying to teach you about the English language
Even as far back as 50 years ago, they were infiltrating Marxism into “English” class. They were just more subtle about it then
1
That none of the younger Jesuits were actually gay. They just had a “gay sensibility”
Which must be the reason some of them died prematurely from undisclosed diseases in the 90’s. Auto-Sensibility disorders, I guess.
