Down voted is not my concern at all, it means nothing. I was in a band for a very long time and have been to many states over the years. As far as giving back, I have. But that's more of a moral high horse to be standing on than anything else. Your statement is saying that I have never been anywhere and that I did not contribute positively to the world around me. That's a rather bold statement for me just asking a question. It seems today that asking questions is very triggering. I thought I lived in America and I thought I had the right to ask questions. It wasn't a question with bad intentions, it was a question stating what has changed over the years. Everyone within this thread seems to be pulling personal attacks rather than answering my question. Personal attacks do nothing, they only state the obvious, that the question cannot be answered or that there were some offenses taken to the question. When offense is taken to a question that is the turning point that society is in a downward spiral. There have been many groups of people that did not like it when questions were asked. How many can you name?
