I’ve been thinking about this all week. Just about how what is shocking has changed in just the last 100 years in America. I’ll let you in if you promise not to judge me; I’m not judging any of these things — just observing. I promise. Here are just a few things that floated to my mind: that lots of woman might desire to and be able legally to end a pregnancy prematurely; that a size 12 woman might consider herself to be undesirably fat; that most couples would desire to have only two children; the definition of a person’s “needs;” that people would pay to lie in a glass bed with lights shining on them to make their skin turn darker; the rise and success of fast food restaurants; that a person could contact a person on the opposite side of the planet in a mere moment…
What floats first to your mind??
