The times they are a-changin'! For better or worse, blessing or curse! Are YOU happier now than before? What for?

Things always change.  Change is the only thing that doesn't change. We are doing well but our freedoms and well-being are more threatened than they ever have been. By those who would tell us what to believe and how to believe it and what to do. By those who would rob us in the name of "taxation".  By those who would seek to dismiss, belittle, excoriate, and demonize us simply because we don't agree with them. So much of this just didn't exist when I was younger and people were much more accepting of each other.
