That is this day and age this could even be a thing.

I tried to think of a better thread title but couldn't. Obviously the fact they can challenge the proceedings is great, but it should t happen in the first place.

Rhi, I wonder how many times through modern history people have said 'in this day and age' in disbelief of a particular 'thing'

We"re supposed to have grown somewhat over that period. Gained some insight, wisdom, compassion.

It seems not.
