Yes and no. Many years in the past, regardless of color or age people did things according to a belief system. They stuck with that system. Yes I realize that men were treated as the dominant people and women were lower on the totem pole. People didn't care about the age in a relationship. And color wasn't much of an issue. As time progressed, government stepped in with a stronger hold on society. Media joined in pursuit, declaring that its all about feelings. So now a days its all about trying to make sure we don't hurt someone elses feelings. If someone steps up and says, "Such and such person offended me", then all of society freaks out. Why does this happen? I remember as a kid, riding in the backseat with out seatbelts wasn't a problem. Now, the police department issues citations. It was common sense to use a seatbelt, but now they force it upon us to dictate their laws. America isn't really free anymore. We are pretty much being run by a dictatorship. The email that I received is supposed to be a friendly reminder to all people, that.. why can't we all just get along?
