Ironic How...

 ...half the people yearning for "the good old days" wouldn't have been accepted as they are back then.  The obese, the poor ignorant masses with terrible grammar & no manners or home training; the disabled (including learning disabilities & mental illnesses), minorities or whites from poor/rural families.  A lot of you privileged gays, women & racial minorities have forgotten what it's like to truly be treated like an "other" with zero access to mainstream society & success.  Yet you yearn for a time when you most certainly would've been at the bottom of the heap.  Looking at YOU, hyper-conservative and religious types.

Careful what you wish for.  We can always go backwards.  The opposite of progressive is regressive.
