Progress?
But to what? What you've described is people behaving how they want.

Talk of "empowerment" makes my head hurt. I really don't understand it - my suspicion is that it's meaningless drivel.

As for "best sides of" whatever... again, by what standard? You've smuggled in a lot of moralism here, but your post seems to boil down to "I've seen some stuff of which I disapprove." Wahey. Good for you. Tell me why you're correct to disapprove and you might convince me to see the world your way. At present, all I have is a description of your psychological landscape. And fairly moralistic bland it looks too.

Sorry. I'm stressed. I wouldn't normally rant like that.





Who'm I kidding? Of course I would.
