takes me back to when I think this entire country went completely over the wall nuts.
Reagan. Ronnie Fucking Reagan.
Before that we were all thinking beyond our basic instincts and trying to be better, more informed and enlightened people. It was certainly not perfect but a good deal of the society were trying I think and we made some significant progress in a lot of areas. We were still doing a good deal of it during Carter but Ronnie F Reagan came in and so much as said that it was OK if you held prejudice, it was just who you were. People went quickly back to the basic instincts of more more more and me me me.
OK, that is all I have time for now but to me that change seemed rapid and sucked up like sweet honey by the people of this country because it is the easiest way to be even if it hurts others or causes any number of problems. Think of yourself man! Screw the other guy, he who dies with the most toys wins. At that point being a minority or a woman became harder and harder.
The fact that we have stayed essentially in that place is frightening because it was the perfect medium for the Talibornagains to take over. Here we are. We must change the entire country again. Last time Vietnam and drugs did it. Now what?
Very simplistic, I do not read a lot of Feminist Theory so I have not posted much. Still, I think in some small manner my observations carry something to at least chew on. 
Take it or leave it, I must go........TaTa my good sisters! See ya later, I am loving this group.
