It might be difficult to compare and contrast due to the passage of time, I'll admit. Political correctness has absolutely gummed up our objective sense of appropriateness, whether we're aware of it or not.

I'm quite sure that if we had the ability to teleport back in time, we'd realize how our memories have deceived us. We'd be pleasantly shocked at how sane society once was.

You hit on something I missed, the political correctness thing.

Let's say it's 1965, and my friends and I are playing football in the local park after closing time. A cop tells us, "You need to go home now boys." Well, we go home and that's it.

Any cop saying that today would have to explain his use of the term "boys", and why he is picking on my group and not on some other group.
