"Yes , we come from a different era, people have no idea how far this country has fallen. Are there some pluses, perhaps but fading fast.""

I saw an interview of Mick Jagger back when the Rolling Stones first came on the scene, and a reporter asked him whether he thought the sexual revolution was here to stay. His answer was very prescient (this is a paraphrase): "Yes, it is here to stay, but it won't be fully established until our generation has become grandparents."
