Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Does anyone else remember the days, when a sex scandal involved a politician or celebrity, having sex with any consensual adult, that they weren't married to?

Now you have to be careful where you look at a woman, or if you happen to brush up against them in a crowd, how you choose your words, from fear of litigation.

Yes I recall those days, one came to mind, England, Perfumo, 1963.

As I recall the world of my youth... below 70!... it was very much a touchy freely world. If you did not touch a woman, she considered you did not find her attractive. Of course, sensible men, which I was most of the time, did not "s**t where they ate" [jeopardize their earnings]. That rule was occasionally and carefully broken if the woman was mature and approached you. But 3 times in 42 years was not a habit and they knocked on my door.

Christine died a couple of weeks ago and it made headlines over here even though it was so long ago.

It was that which made me think of it.
