> Is it me or are we returning to the 50's with high-technology?
> 
> I just watched the TV and realized several things:
> 
> Attitudes seem to be shifting back to the fundamentalist values that

> 
> Clothing styles are moving backwards not forwards.  The went from 80's
> to 90's then 70's, then 60's, now 50's.  The Rockettes were just on
> the TV posing for a fashion mag dressed in camel and tweed
> trench-coats with brimmed hats.
> They looked like bad detective movie clones.
> 
> The attitudes about privacy are returning to the same as they were in
> the 50's.  Notice the wiretap laws being passed.  "If you don't know
> enough about yourself call they FBI they can help."
> 
> The fanatic^h^H conservative religious majority is pushing to
> ostracize anyone not a "Christian" or something mainstream.
> 
> Maybe I'm being paranoid but I don't want to return to a lifestyle of
> quiet painful restraint, no freedoms, and a "commie" behind every corner.
