Today is far less vicious than it was when I was growing up. They would drag you outta your house and dust your ass off if they wanted to. If it hadn't been for the civil rights upheavals of the 60's and 70's and the crusading journalism we'd all be slaves by now. We have it easy compared to the old days lemme tell you!

One thing I always find interesting about your posts is that you have your own relatively long life history to pull from. It's neat to see somebody who has gained wisdom over time and can share it. You've seen so much change in society in your lifetime. No better way than to hear it from somebody who has lived it.
