Yeah...I always screw that quote up. I've seen it quoted so many ways that I forget the original. Thanks for the correction.

The way I see it, any given society has to evolve. If it's not evolving, it's standing still which is, within this context, moving backward. We've had a lot of societal changes in the past 50-60 years like the ones you listed, but I think in the last 20 or 30 years it's sort of snowballed. Whenever change happens at such a rapid pace there will always be a group of people who react against it and I think that's what we're seeing now. That in and of itself seems pretty normal, but I think the problem now becomes the fact that some people in power would use the momentum of these changes and consequential reactions to further their own agenda in a less than ethical fashion. For example, America is just now being acquainted with terrorism and in quite a rapid fashion. While people scramble to adjust, some people in power are trying to use the confusion and natural fear to push revocation of civil liberties and things of that nature by exploiting that fear. The problem is that, unlike in the movie, we have no V.
