Good grief, Brent - who is it exactly that's freaking out about someone else's contrary opinion, and calling them impolite names? - wait, it seems to be you!
I agree with you that for most people (in the world) the standard of life has never been better than today, and also that a lot of people don't appreciate that fact and complain way too much. But that's part of what Steve was saying in the first place. I don't know how you get from that to ripping him apart for saying BB is good today...

And it stayed this way until 1962!! So, if you asked them, I think they'd say things and people weren't so great back then...
