With all the carnage & general crap that's going on these days, I wish. I had a time machine to wheeched me back to the sixties when as the flower people we thought we could make a peaceful world.
Alas, we voted the wrong people into power - all over the 'free' world.

The received wisdom (whether true or not) was that we were under military threat from the Soviet Union, and political threat from Communism. As a child, many a night I went to bed wondering if the nukes were going to be launched. The C word in my environment was probably scarier than the M word is today.
The threat of random violence? I actually feel safer in the streets of Edinburgh now than I did back in the 60's and 70's. Is that rational, or just perceived? Someone will be along with the relevant crime stats to back that up, or not.
