Look, I was raised in an era when people had some concern for the feelings of others.

I was raised in that same era. Taking a slightly wider view - it was also an era of the rise of facisim and of totalitarian states - that were not much concerned with the feelings of others.

Many in this era who did have concern for the feelings of others - or who were simply caught up in the struggle - gave up their lives for what they would hope to be the freedom of others in the future, to express their concerns.

I think that we owe it to those people to ensure that we always treasure that hard-won freedom, everywhere and all of the time.
