But 40 or 50 years ago, life was hell for decent well meaning folks who were not permitted to vote, to defend themselves, to attend proper schools, or to hold certain jobs for which they were otherwise qualified.

And things are so much better now, right. At least then, they were mostly growing up in intact families, not on drugs, and much less likely to die by violence.

We are also glad you are in your 60s.

Speak for yourself.
