I find that in the past communities strove to move forward and people cared about one another.
It could be argued and rightfully so, that privacy was almost non-existent, in these cases.
However, today, people are more worried about themselves. You see it in education levies, tax cuts, what is cut, in job loyalty from both sides, in pay diferentials between upper management and everyone else and the list can go on and on.
You see it in bumper stickers that say "he who dies with the most toys wins."
You see it in the media.
As a student of history, it has never been this bad on such a large scale.
The polarization is truly becoming more and more entrenched.
Even in the 60's, there were peace makers and compromises between leaders and political parties...... now there is none, and no it wouldn't matter which party was in power right now.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
