[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 1569165, member: 18914"] With all due respect to your memories (I share a few - I am 47), much of what we "remember" about the world being safer is illusion. We simply didn't have the means to know what was going on in every little town until and unless it became a big scandal or sensation. I don't know how much safer the world really was for kids. However, I do think that by casting off all personal constraints (it's my body I'll do what I want; if it feels good do it, etc.) we have opened the door to some very bad...what..appetites, desires to come to the surface. And once they are awakened they demand to be fed. There were good reasons for many of the "restrictive" morals of yesteryear. Sure individuals still did bad things or were hypocrites, but whole population sections and demographic groups weren't slipping away all at once. Hmmm...I seem to have gone off and become melancholy...time to go to the range in Duncan! [/QUOTE]
