Late 60's - early 70's.
A revolution in music, peace, love, dope, going braless, demonstrations opposing the war, muscle cars, hitchhiking, Republicans with balls enough to tell a bad President to go fuck himself, hippies, bell bottoms, Hendrix, Janice, the Beatles, Allman Bros., Clapton...

I hitchhiked from St. Louis with a buddy of mine back in '72 or '73 to Keene, N. H. to see another buddy of mine whose dad got him a job there for the summer. Great memory.
On the other hand, I hitchhiked alone in the dark from Kansas City to St. Louis and got picked up by two black guys in a Mustang. I was reluctant to get in but they assured me they were going all the way to Lake Tishomingo (south of St. Louis). We were just east of Kansas City and, after getting in the back seat, they proceeded to exit into a deserted industrial area at the very next exit. They crossed the highway and proceeded to make the first right. As they slowed to turn, I jammed the passenger seat forward and grabbed the door handle. I rolled out onto the street from the moving car while clutching my backpack and immediately got on my feet and proceeded running in my cowboy boots as fast as I could. I heard myself being chased followed by an unknown ripping sound. I managed to outrun him and hid for an hour or so begore proceeding hitchhiking. When I arrived at my girlfriend's house the next morning...the collar on my jacket was missing! CLOSE DAMN CALL ! ! !
I also hitchhiked to visit my buddy working one night at a gas station. I got picked up by a strange dude in a strange little foreign car with fur for a headliner. As I was getting out he asked me a question. I didn't quite hear him and asked "What?' and he replied "Do you want a blowjob?" I hurriedly slammed the door and said "NO!"

The best era to grow up in hasn't happened yet.

No, the best time to grow up was before all the land was claimed and everything was invented.
There is nothing left anymore except rehash and inherit

mars is a one way death trip. You aren't gonna claim shit because some nigga is just gonna kick your bones into the ditch and say he put the flag there.

I would like to die while orbiting the moon, a lot easier than going to mars but could never be done by a man. Not because it's impossible but because it's illegal, morally wrong, dangerous, etc. They would never allow a man to escape earth unless the government approved of it first.
That's why i'm going to die without ever seeing the stars with my own eyes, maybe I will get lucky and it will be cheap to visit space in 50 years but most likely not.
Even if you had all the money in the world people would try to stop you.
What is allowed and perfectly legal though is going to a black lives matter protest and cancel culturing people on twitter. Our society cares more about socialization than technological advancement

Living in the city sucks. Even when I lived in the country there was too much light pollution to see shit.
You gotta just leave earth and take some LSD in micro gravity to have the real experience
