[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 731850, member: 18958"] I would go back to the 70's. Oh. I was there! Opportunity for women had arrived, but the economy was still on track. The civil rights movement had made gains. Labor unions were still around. While there had been riots, antiwar protests and white fight from the cities, the extreme social divisions of now were not as present. There seemed to be more hope and openness. We were more relaxed. Less afraid. We could have personal boundaries. The internet. Has it really helped us? There was less the need for social mobility, extreme personal ambition. There seemed to be more the ability to stay in place. I did not. Maybe I romanticize what I did not have. I live in a place now that is laid back. I thought I did not like that. (I lived in the 70's in the extreme dead center of social change, conflict and innovation. I was swept along with it.) Maybe the slow lane is what I crave at heart. Nice thread old hand. [/QUOTE]
