It looks like the word "progressive", as used in your post, isn't "progressive" at all. I don't find the drug-dealing or soldiers dying in combat in a war they shouldn't be in "progressive" things. <BR/><BR/>I would tend to think your "regressive" paragraph is actually more "progressive" than the paragraph above that. Doesn't "regressive" mean, technically, "going backwards", making things worse? I don't find a lot of the changes in today's society "progressive". <BR/><BR/>We're smarter these days, but society is colder, more impersonal, more fast-paced, more stressful. So while we may be making "progress" on some fronts, I don't think a lot of that progress is "progressive".Lil ol' me...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05375131775477058146noreply@blogger.com
