Cary, Being gay may be different from the mainstream in terms of sexual preferences, but mainstream belief currently is that gays should not be discriminated against because of this. This is progress. The term radical is not always meant as something negative. I was a radical in the 60's and still hold that some of what we did was good. And those things became mainstreamed. mike where's the answer to my question?

"I recall that people of modest means 50 years ago could afford most consumer goods. My parents, a teacher and a bookkeeper, had a house, car, TV, radios, washer, dryer, power lawn mower, and no debt but the mortgage. Medical care was also not the expensive proposition it is today. cary, I will ditto this. Life was softer then. Much more 9-5 jobs, two parent families with only one member working, etc. at least in the growing middle class. Instead of moving to more leisure time as was predicted for our generation, we work longer hours and are always under pressure including answering your barrage of posts today. What are you on NO DOSE today. Remember No Dose and how we used it to stay up while cramming for exams? mike
