There Was a Time

timeThere was a time when courtesy was expected and the rude people were looked at rudely. 

A time when sexual matters were kept private (by most) and definitely not shouted from the roof-top or announced on public television for all to hear. 

A time when we weren’t hearing commercials involving Pleasureville and blowing someone’s hair back. 

A time when women didn’t flaunt their nursing boobs (uncovered) in public to the discomfort of others trying to dine. 

A time when manners meant something. 

Strangely, it wasn’t really that long ago.  What happened to that world?  I miss it.
