A lot of us were old enough to know what life was like before everything went to shit but instead of trying to make the world (well, maybe just the United States?) a moderately better place, all we've done is complain about how much better things used to be. I see it as a lack of perspective and an inability to think about the long-term implications of our current actions.
This all has nothing to do with the thread topic and is probably frustrating for those who see that I'm dragging Current Events subforum discussions into City Discussions. For the sake of everyone's sanity, I'm willing to discuss/argue further in private messages. I apologize for wasting everyone's time with my ranting.
