Sounds like you had a golden childhood. Perhaps people who "can't" remember
their early childhood really *don't want* to remember it.

"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to
think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing
superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion
that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable,
and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not
romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who
are."
--H.L. Mencken - Smart Set magazine - December 1919
