Reply #37: I'm 54 - almost 55 soon and I have to say it's a lot worse...

Then we didn't have to "watch what we say" or think twice about saying or doing something...

Now we have an insideous climate where speech is essentially curtailed.

I never was worried before about what I would say or that anybody would overhear me and do something about it like I am today...

The climate now is very hidden and creepy and there is more of a divide in the general population - old and young alike - red and blue if you will, not just the young against the older like it was then...
