I reflect on the fact that when I was 18 same sex relationships were illegal in my state. Now same sex marriage is an accepted part of our society. So the change really isn't that slow. What was the colour status in 1960? Most folk born that year have only just retired.

I am happy I slept thru it and no tv on... and now I am wide awake. I have no idea... who won what. And I feel like being a better human being because of it.
