OK where to start?
Sure we cured a few diseases but we have added new ones to the list including obesity (according to the CDC)
Every single social problem we had in the 60s still exists today. The black man still lives in ghettos only with white trash neighbours.. The drugs are harder and made from toxins... Our education system is dumber and has gun problems But for the most part it is just tit for tat. Nothing has really changed The biggest differences are the food, enviroment and today's youth.
Our food is toxic,
With all the chemicals, antibiotics, steroids, pesticides, genetic manipulation, etc.. We literally eat poisons at meal time. That is unless we are prepared to spend a lot more on BIO food. Our Enviroment is toxic,
Nuclear plants, chemicals dumped in the soil, plastics everywhere, etc. There is literally nowhere we can go on the face of the earth to hide from the garbage. Today's Youth,
The words "Weak," "Stupid" and "Narcisstic" do NOT come close to describing how pathetic the overwhelming vast majority of them are. I remember the past, most notably the Monterey Pop Festival, trying to get my 20$ back from Emmett Grogan, throwing bricks at the police in Paris in 1968 and spitting on a cop during the October Crisis in 1970. You are correct, it was NOT all Ozzie and Harriet... But at least we were truely alive which is something I can not say about a lot of people today.
