The taboos that kept women from even thinking of college or a professional career (teaching was accepted mainly) are gone and if a woman wanted to work she was frowned on.

Times are different. Some of it is good and some of it is bad.

On here we seem to hone in on all the bad things, and refuse to enjoy the opportunities, the technology and all that brings, just to be able to dream a bit higher than we could.

It is a great world, we have grown lazy and closed minded in our perception of the world. It does not look as it did fifty years ago, so it must be wrong.

I reject that and welcome the advances that we have, and reject taking us backwards.
Well stated.
