The Good Old Days.


The good old days were not all that good.

But they were a good deal better than they are now.

In the 1950s the churches were full and the workplace was fairer.

But the Churches were full of hypocrites and it was "a jungle out there".

In the 1960s we had the 8 hours day and full employment.

But the advent of rock music saw a decline in standards and the beginning of drug problems.

This only worsened in the 1970s despite an improvement in social justice and an interest in spirituality.

But with deregulation and a new generation in the 1980s we began to see an increase in corruption and an eroding of the goodness of humanity.

Despite a respite in the 1990s this has continued to this day.

So that now we are wicked and the workplace is a nightmare.

The disparity between rich and poor is at an all time high.

And no one seems to care.
