I would think the progression would have been slowed, at least a little.

Your comments about government becoming too complex are right on the money.

There are time when I’m glad I’m an old fart. I really feel sorry for the kids coming up. Their future is none too bright :(

As kids, we never considered we were living in “The Golden Age” but upon reflection - I believe it was.

We took risks, but we were not ‘at risk’. Poor, but not impoverished. Wild, but not evil. Lots of siblings, sure we fought - basic training! Horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens - you name it, we raised it. We were such lucky little brats.

Damn technology!
