Just an idea to ponder, Sunfish- it isn't the world that's changed, it's your perception of it.
Remember when you where young, older people complained about the world today and reminisced about the good old days?
Now look in the mirror......
When I was young, the oldies were complaining about our laissez faire attitudes; if it feels good do it!
These days I'm more concerned that we have bred a nation of conformists.
I get the sarcasm about LBGTQ - I've had gay friends of both sexes for forty years and been part of the wedding party on a ground breaking same sex wedding. What concerns me is the SJW's are focussing on trendy issues and not poverty, homelessness, unemployment, corruption and lack of investment in anything but property just for examples.
...but we are way off topic.
