Though I agree it is very sad that taking responsibility has gone the way of 8-track tapes, not everything was something out of an Ozzie & Harriet show. Just like fishing trips where you only remember the good days and forget the skunk days, we tend to forget the bad aspects of "the good old days". Don't ever forget that the "good old days" were when companies were able to dump whatever they wanted into whatever river they wanted, or pump filth in the air. I remember growing up and having it hurt to breath because of the smog.

I enjoy looking back at some aspects of the "good old days", but overall I don't think they were any better than modern times.
