Fifty years ago I was in my teens. With the exception of the communist country’s the world was much better off. While not as advanced materially, we were more moral and just. And individuals, in the vast majority, took responsibility for their actions. Manners were better and people were much more decent towards each other. Regardless of race or faith. Yes there was segregation, but it was on its way out. Not because of fear or coercion but but because people knew it was wrong.
50 years ago a pregnancy outside of marriage was truly scandalous and jaw-dropping. Now, not so much. Very sad.
