I thought it was the opposite. I've read in a number of places that we are currently in the greatest period of peacetime the world has ever known. Yes, there are conflicts, but less people are dying worldwide as a percentage of population than ever before. Regarding drugs - many weren't invented before the 50's, so what's your point? How do you know that meth use hasn't just increased as drug users switch from other drugs? It's possible that the percentage of addicts stays relatively constant over time, it's just a matter of what drugs they have access to. Do you have any data?

Yeh, lets go back to the good old days where people like us who thought the Earth goes around the Sun could be executed. Come on, you're not really serious about this? The mere fact that you can speak out against the powers that be, in a public forum without fear of a knock at the door at midnight proves you wrong. The 'good old days' were not as good as I think you make out.
