We had Princess Diana who demurred in being the future Queen but tried to help the poor and unfortunate during her time as princess. She was stoic in the face of shame and embarrassment by her prince.
Ummm, she was a vapid girl without a stray thought in her head. She was completely ate up with celebrity culture. How she became this icon is beyond me.

She also founded numerous charities. One becoming renowned for its efforts to remove land mines from former war torn countries

You should have been around in the 50s and 60s when we also thought it was going south.
Yet many of the 'social justice' issues brought about then were actually, in the long run, good.
Most of you hair brain punks on here are all about marijuana. Back then a joint could get you 5 years in the slammer.
All of you who slam cops now? Well, back then with no Miranda and courts having a 'lay off' attitude on violating certain rights would really frick your mind up had you been there.
And when you bitch about lawyers and law suits? Back then you didn't even have to have liability insurance. You simply drove drunk, paid a fine of $200 bucks and kept on keeping on. If you had a wreck, the other guy was up shite creek in getting his vehicle fixed.
Medicare? You should have heard the screaming against it then. Well, guess what? Your grandparents and parents get pretty much free medical insurance upon retirement so they can save that money and give it to your sorry arse when they croak. Not that you would appreciate it.
So, some of the changes have actually been for the better. What y'all would be screaming about then, had you been alive, ain't shite compared to now maybe in your mind.
