I guess anything that has people with crazy hair waving plackards around these days. 

I'll keep it general, you comment as you see fit.

I try to stick to a 1950s viewpoint, Mum, Dad, a couple of kids type of thing. Stuff they would be into.

Emphasis on "try", but you get the idea.

A pre internet benchmark can do wonders.

I don't like pushy stories, or those with "current" themes. 

Including characters or themes that are likely to upset, aggravate or annoy half (?) you readers isn't a great idea. Particularly the half who have been around longest and are likely to still hang around long after fads have faded.

The idea of SciFi is that you can swap things out and don't have to include actual topical things.

I just wish more people followed that method at least.
