~sigh~ Often I don’t understand the “world” at all.
I agree w/ Juliet, the internet is wonderful, but it also can be a “dark” thing.

Yes Kitty I believe it has. When the leader of the free world advocates drinking bleach to cure COVID-19, young people dye their hair grey, sick means good and we can’t say I’m sorry any more because it should be ‘my bad‘. All seems lost but I’m sure it isn’t really.

What LadyBella says. The misuse of the internet has a lot to answer for.

Yes most definitely. Nothing is as it was. I could list everything that's wrong but it would take too long. I look back to the 60s, 70s and 80s as being the best times ever - not just for me but for people generally. Of course we've all had good and bad times but, pretty much, with the arrival of the internet the world has gone mad.
