So what was the best time to be alive in your view then? When you were a kid it was virtually impossible to succeed in the private sector unless you were a white man, and you witnessed the civil rights movement first hand. You were in your late 20's when the last racially segregated school closed in Canada, and I'm sure you must have watched the Watts and Rodney King riots on TV. You were witness to the AIDS epidemic in the 80's and saw how vilified the LGBTQ community was. And hell as a kid I vividly remember the torture and murder of Matthew Shepard, just because he was gay. So tell me, at what point in the last 80 years were we better off as a society?
