[speaker001:] okay so um how do think how do you think we've changed in the last ten to twenty years
[speaker002:] uh I'm at a little bit of a loss you know I don't know ten years ago see I'm what I'm about uh twenty eight now so
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] when I was eighteen things haven't changed a whole lot people are being a little more uh
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] oh I don't know a little less a little less bigoted in some ways I don't know seems to me
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] I guess I'm like my parents the younger generation gets away with hell but uh
[speaker001:] well  yeah
[speaker002:] well it seems to me that civic freedoms are more restricted but that may just be because I've changed you know I used to live up north Down here Dallas seems to me the police are militant but uh
[speaker001:] really where'd you live up where'd you live at
[speaker002:] I lived in Akron Ohio
[speaker001:] oh did you I'm from Illinois so how long how long you been in Dallas
[speaker002:] oh oh about eight years
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] in fact in the eight years I've been here it seems to me it gets more and more gets to be more and more restrictive place to live
[speaker001:] yeah uh you know uh as you're talking like police and stuff like that it's definitely a tough job to do
[speaker002:] I think yeah well I think it's crime has gone got a lot worse in the last last ten fifteen years and maybe that has a lot to do with it
[speaker001:] oh yeah I agree yeah I I definitely think that has gotten a lot worse and you know I I think there's to me there seems to be a little bit of a decline in the family values
[speaker002:] yeah that's true
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] that's true
[speaker001:] but uh
[speaker002:] I'd say my own personal lifestyle has improved but that's more a matter of
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] you know I'm no longer a teenager in high school got to
[speaker001:] yeah yeah think I think there's more pressure like on both parents to work and things like that than there used to be and
[speaker002:] hello somebody's at the door hang on just a second
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] go ahead I'm on the phone all right okay
[speaker001:] but uh I don't know that's just that's one thing I see I see a lot more you know double income families and a lot more like baby sitters raising the kids and things like that I guess
[speaker002:] yeah that's true it's uh getting more and more expensive to live
[speaker001:] yeah that's for sure
[speaker002:] you know you can't you can't make it
[speaker001:] yeah without it hardly that's right
[speaker002:] I guess when I was growing up it was it was still the ideal to get a get a home and buy house and those good thing these days you see a lot of people living in apartments
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] forever you know you just don't buy a house
[speaker001:] yeah just because they can't get into one yeah that's right yeah the ways our tax laws and stuff are structured you can't ever catch a break until you can get into a house in a lot of ways so
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] yeah that's that's good point so I'm trying to think of anything else that's changed over the last ten or twenty years
[speaker002:] yeah I see for me it's kind of hard I don't know I think uh I don't know I think the middle class is shrinking and the uh lower class is expanding and sooner or later there's going to there's going to be a turn around
[speaker001:] oh yeah I agree well I hope so you know at some point but I don't know at what point
[speaker002:] yeah but I think it's going to be at the expense of the middle class uh
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] so usually is I think
[speaker001:] yeah it's uh
[speaker002:] it's hard for me to say I hope it happens because I'd be one of those that gets caught but on the other hand there's a lot of injustice that needs to be be changed
[speaker001:] yeah that's right do you work at T I
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] do you
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] what what uh department do you work in
[speaker002:] I'm in semiconductor
[speaker001:] are you so I'm in semiconductor division too
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so how long you been with them since you moved down here
[speaker002:] about eight years yeah
[speaker001:] um I'm over at the Center One building
[speaker002:] yeah so am I
[speaker001:] are you really what floor
[speaker002:] yep two
[speaker001:] I'm on the seventh floor
[speaker002:] really
[speaker001:] how about that well it's a small world so so let's see second floor you work for uh Linear
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] do you do you uh do you know Alec Morton
[speaker002:] yeah I've probably seen him around

[speaker002:] yeah well seventh floor
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] T A D
[speaker001:] well uh he uh boy he comes up there and gives us all kinds of grief they they say it's what makes him happy is to give us DADers grief so I can believe it but
[speaker002:] well
[speaker001:] yeah let's see if you've been in Dallas eight years guess I guess that's about how long I've I've been in here about eight years too I guess um been with T I like twelve but I started out in Lubbock and uh Lubbock Lubbock is I don't know I guess if this is the only place you've lived Lubbock is a lot different than Dallas
[speaker002:] yeah flat dry and dirty
[speaker001:] but yeah yeah but the people all seem to be a lot more laid back too I mean here in Dallas everything is just real rush rush
[speaker002:] yeah I lived in the country for several years and living in the city is a whole different uh social structure but uh
[speaker001:] oh yeah well I got s ome friends that uh seems like he went to school at like DeVry is there a DeVry in Akron
[speaker002:] I don't even know haven't been up there in years
[speaker001:] oh oh I see well he went to school somewhere in Ohio and he's from that area and uh he works over in the Park Park Central building I think but uh I haven't talked to him in a while but um yeah he he misses it he used to go back twice or three times a year you know because he missed it sounds like you haven't been back there in a while
[speaker002:] no I haven't been back in fifteen ten fifteen years
[speaker001:] you still have relatives back there or
[speaker002:] yeah I do I just haven't had a chance to get back
