Do I just know the wrong people or have things changed this much?

[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 603181, member: 135"] I don't think, in a lot of ways, the world, or even this country was better back then and I wouldn't really like to go back and live in that era. There were some good things but, as a lot of you have pointed out, there were lots of bad things too. We still have a lot of problems but we have made improvements in many areas. Of course there are new problems now that we didn't have to deal with then but that is the way the world works. Change happens and if it didn't we'd be in worse trouble than we are. There were rotten people then, just like there are rotten people now. It's just that it seems like the few people I knew who were honest and hard working and who tried to do the right thing back then are fewer and farther between now than they were then. I'm not sure why that should be so. I think a lot of you have made good points about more stress and different times but I know there are good people out there now but it does seem different. Too many of the "good" people I know now are not people I like. They seem to be condescending or holier-than-thou and the goodness doesn't seem as sincere. Maybe it's just a sign I'm getting old.
