Sorry, but I believe the 50's and 60's were better because personal responsibility and respect was expected. I agree racial tensions had a long way to go and while not there, progress has been made. I agree that women were in a different category but progress has been made. Progress is made when everyone wants to participate and contribute, not a lot of that going on these days.
Thank you for a very sensible and honest posting. The entire nation had a structure of respect and morality. Truths were taught, and not evasively called 'only your opinion' by moral cowards.
