I was born in 1956 in Anchorage, Territory of Alaska. Prior to the Great Betrayal of 1965, I lived there and in Juneau, Alaska, and Alexandria, Virginia. I also spent almost every summer on my grandparents' farm near McIntosh, Minnesota. Of course, my experience could have been duplicated in almost all essentials in every state of the Union, any province of Canada, or, for that matter, in any country in Europe or Australasia, before the Betrayal.

what was the great betrayal? bob dylan doing rock?
you grew up in certain places at a time that were great for straight white men and much worse for so many others. the US was competing against places destroyed by war and there were massive fed taxes on the rich that subsidized suburbia for people like yourself. you were living on land nowhere near where people like yourself could trace back to having "evolved".
"other people" now have much more freedom and economic security.
