I'm a Retrophiliac. Are you?

"Sometimes, it [the term retro] can also suggest an entire outlook on life, for example, social conservatism, homeschooling or the embrace of traditional gender roles."

Disturbing because I have had pushed into my face over the past few weeks the reality of the vast and ever-widening gap between those who follow the Bible and those who do not along with the impact that each group can have/is having in our culture. Social conservatism and black-and-white morals are no longer prevalent in our society as they once were. When I say I'm a retrophiliac, I mean in every sense of the word.

The article does give several definitions and usages of the word. The above just really struck me.
