George Will and I don't normally see eye-to-eye, but his post on reaching 70, a tad after I did, is something I can mostly agree with.
He cites the end of racial segregation, the emancipation of women, the end of the Cold War, the advance of medicine, as major milestones he's seen. Doesn't mention gay rights or the emancipation of the mind, AKA the Internet, or the liberation of the aged and their by extending Social Security and creating Medicare. But that's nitpicking, which I'm good at.
