Cars are safer and more efficient, although they have lost alot in appearance. Machines require less energy to use. Tolerance has certainly moved at warp speed. In 1957, did anyone foresee having two black Secretary of States in a row, a Latino attorney general or a serious black Presidential contender? Women are at the highest levels of government and industry and we may have one as President soon. Economically, there is actually unprecedented prosperity. Where else do you find poor people with cars, big screen tvs and obesity problems? College has gone from something for the elites to something for the masses. Travel is now something run of the mill rather than expensive and exotic. Are there bad things? Sure, but I will leave that for another day.
