Sometimes I need to remind myself to not continually, when speaking to my children and grandchildren, state with conviction well back in my day we would or could never do that ! So yes I am definitely older and hark back to the old days. HOW have times changed !!!
When certain actions were both common and expected like standing when Grandma entered the room and giving your seat to a lady on the bus. When young people would never be allowed to use profane language, especially in front of adults. On TV shows and movies I think the "F" word is more common that Mom and Dad. TV shows would never show a man and wife sleeping in the same bed, they always had double beds like in the Dick VanDyke shows. The only black entertainer allowed on TV was Nat King Cole. Today it is not uncommon to see complete frontal nudity of both sexes and virtual sexual encounters of all the sexes you can now be allowed to conjure up. Today I do not think it is an exaggeration to note that almost 70% of all advertisements contains mostly non caucasian actors. In the 50's drugs were sleazy and only used by the criminals and "bad People". Then drugs became a proud symbol of the cool people, mind opening, almost something to aspire to. The Government spent billions upon billions to tell us alcohol and smoking was bad, bad, very bad. Now we spend billions and are passing laws to allow the use of Cannabis because >> why not , it actually may have medicinal purpose. Just forget about the fact it is still smoking. Where we were when I was young and where we are now was not foreseeable then. So I will assume we have to admit that what ever you can dream up for the future please do not say >> Oh no I don't think that will happen >> not really possible!
