      That could not have been stated with keeping your comment most respectable to the capitalism only way offered way of life which is slowly over consuming the planet to the point that finding the next planet to over consume before it's over isn't possible.
      The mass population are mined indoctrinated to be scientifically efficient at creating their own future Extinction.
      Either we learn how to stop over consuming and stop over copulating or there will be nothing left for future Generations.
      It's because people have a tendency to cover it and buy and coverage by and coverage and by every covetable thing produced by his fellow man creating the money empowered hierarchies and the masses of poor people who used to be able to exist predominantly free of charge.
      Because God created this planet to provide for us predominantly free of charge but Mass populations of humans love the excessive convenience of money instead of God & His natural complex symbiotic relationships that sustain life in God's Creation.
      Seek first God and care for His natural creation.
      And the rest will be added unto you.
      Put mankind's prideful science of excessive organization and efficiency has blinded mankind to the fact that all his provision used to be free of charge if we only take care of nature and live in size limited populations.
      Is it too late to return to the Village Way of Life.
      Commercialistic capitalism controls the minds of the mass populations by way of their love of coveting and purchasing everything the corporations have for us to buy.
      So it appears that the overcomplication of what used to be a simplistic way of life has become snuffed out by the science of overcomplication which keeps us all buying the excessive things of convenience and opulence as nature of free-of-charge provision slowly & surely becomes over-consumed & over-toxicified in the process.
      If we don't get back to the simplistic way of provisioning: by (helping eachother daily accomplishing the necessary Toil of simplistic chores & duties required) by nurturing nature for our "adequate provision": it will soon be too late; to even try to return - to simplicity.
      Those who believe get higher intellect owning of the Earth is the right way will always exist because God let it be through man's Pride.
      But if those who own the Earth don't let that return and not purchasing everything that have to sell us there will be no more hope of slowing down or possibly even preventing the fast approaching end.
      Although what's the excessive pride of man becomes eliminated and the rest of mankind surrender their existence to God then is when the meek will finally inherit the earth to utilize as the garden of natural "predominately -free-of-charge provision": it was originally intended to be.
      But if we were allowed to make a very well organized shareable via the Internet example way of life of how to better utilize nature for our provision we could sell the Surplus outside our village borders in order to give to our Master overlords who believe they should own the Earth.
      God never said we can't go back to nurturing the Earth for our provision but it's up to our overlords to allow it to be and we will give them some of the surplus of what our way of life produces if they will only release it from this slavery to money thing to the highest degree possible before it's too late.
      Why wouldn't we give them free of charge food as our tax payment if they could be so kind.

I turned in my original, classic auburn-haired, pony-tailed " head" (which was from my 1960 Barbie) for a black-haired " bubblecut". The worst mistake I ever made!

      @@j.m.starling9726 There was NOTHING sweet or romantic or healthy or sentimental about cigarettes.
      Our clothes, hair, skin, houses, cars, restaurants, planes, theaters, public transportation, stores, offices, pets, food, etc. reeked of smoke.
      My grandparents died of cancer and emphysema. They did not smoke but everyone else (family, friends, customers) did - except for my mother.
      But she still died of asthma and lung disease with a very large and very necessary oxygen tank in their bedroom.
      My father started smoking at 10 years old. He continued through World War II as Lucky Strike put cigarettes in everyone's knapsack. He then continued to smoke 3 packs a day until 1964 when I was 10 and he was 50. I had heard the "Surgeon General" say that smoking was bad for peoples' health. But if a person could cut the number of cigs smoked in half he/she could live more years. Not wanting to have my daddie die young I dreamed up a great plan to ensure that he could easily cut his smoking in half.
      I went to the buffet where the cigarette supply was stored. There were 3 cartons of them. I got a sharp knife and proceeded to open each pack in each carton. I then took the cigarettes out of each pack. I took the sharp knife and proceed to cut "each cigarette in half", thus making it easier for my father to "cut his smoking in half". (I honestly believed someone could smoke cigarette halves.)
      There were bunches and bunches of halved cigarettes but I didn't want to put them back in the packs and cartons yet so I put them in a brown paper bag ("plastic" was NOT an option then). I wanted to show my dad how easy it was going to be to reduce his smoking and thus his coughing and spitting up in the sink as he did for 10 minutes every morning upon waking up.
      So, the dog and I went to the side door to wait for my dad to get off the bus from the checkpoint and walk the block and a half to the house. [The dog knew the moment when the bus dropped "our" dad off.]
      We met him at the door with the brown bag full of cigs. He looked in the bag and I saw the expression of someone whose blood was boiling. [There was a LOT of money in the contents of that bag.]
      All I could do was express why I had murdered all of those cigarettes. "Daddie, I don't want you to die!!"
      He actually DID quit. It was THE most difficult thing he ever did. There were so many movements/activities/feelings/tastes associated with smoking. All of those habits had to be broken.
      He gained weight because he could actually taste food. Smoke stunk to him. He lived for 20 more years with a heart attack, bypass surgery by Dr. Denton Cooley, colon cancer, and then his final days with me catching his dark brown spit into boxes and boxes of Kleenex. He died when the the ice cream and other goodies I fed him didn't taste good any more. He just closed his mouth and shook his head "No".
      My mother had 4 more years. Her long time doctor said she just had so much wrong with her including her no longer capable lungs.
      The years rolled on. People smoked in open and closed offices and conference rooms when I started my work in engineering in 1976. Co-workers were angry at me when I asked them to please stop because any cigarette smoke almost shut down my lungs. Eventually, civilization changed, health values changed, and smoking became not cool. Now I live in a no smoking quadplex. But..., people visit the other occupants and some of them still smoke and have no understanding that smoke can get through walls, paint, fabric, wood, pipes, vents, the air, just about anything.
      To this day I have never actually smoked a cigarette. I didn't have to waste a bunch of money to buy the damn things. I just had to breathe to inhale the second hand smoke.
      I now have chronic asthma and COPD.

    The 1969 Mustang commercial paid homage to Laugh-In, top TV show at that time. Cigarette ads were everywhere. Boxes of sweet cereals always had kid prizes inside. Loved the ad for the rudimentary early computer football game. People today may not know how new the idea was of having white and black people together in ads at that time. The Pepsi commercial was revolutionary. I was 14 in 1969 and remember it all.

      That computer football game was very rudimentary. The lights lit up when both players held down buttons after a play selection.

Thousands of them, as if they were nothing, but they were flesh and blood just like you and me. But we forget the bad thing and our stupid brains only remember the happy stuff. Well how retarded is that, but please take a moment for those, think about them that gave their life for nothing, for shit, for bullshit. it didnt bring them or their families anything only a waste of young human life, a whole generation was fu cked by people like Kissinger. I did a happy dance in last november when Kisssinger died, he should have been prosecuted as war criminal.

Honey comb, cereals in general, toys all things a kid would ask for, after school. Cars, lawn mowers, handy trash cans, after 7 to 8ish. when husbands have eaten and finished their after work chores, who are now in their evening chair..... you did not advertise John Deer tractors to a NYC audience nor new Bentley to a Mid West farming area.

      @@RevLeigh55 No doubt they dont know any of these stars. I'm amazed if I ask someone younger than myself about an older show, or actor they always answer with, "never heard of it"

    Irony is watching 2 RUclips ads so you can watch the commercials in this RUclips post!

      There is free software called adblocker that you can easily download. No more YT ads, but you'll lose the irony.

      Hank Austin Ha me too, remember trying to get home after school to watch this show, my parents would just laugh, they didn't have to monitor what we watched then.

      Indeed! I had a stuffed-animal Snoopy riding a plush rocket w/a little ribbon/sash saying, "Fly Me to the Moon, Apollo 11." Wish I still had it.
