...But ya know folks...I've been doing some thinking, and even though I go back as far as the mid fifties, it was as a little kid, so I don't remember too much about 'husband-wife' stuff. What I DO remember is that in the sixties I made 'faggot' jokes along with my friends, probably used the term "easy" to describe girls who liked sex, BUT...saw myself as 'anti-war', enlightened, 'pro-integration' and certainly a cut above a lot of people.

Total and complete bullshit of course. I was an ignorant little twit who didn't have a clue what "diversity" or respect for others meant. My predjudices weren't overt but boy, were they there, and this was despite a pretty good upbringing. The best I can say for myself is that I had a reasonably open mind and when I DID start to understand (probably when I reached 18 or 19) about respect for people, I was fortunate not to have built-in cultural, religious, or inherited impediments. It was all up to me to try and improve or not.

Cheers
