[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 1278597, member: 49302"] How can you be serious? Was that your generation? We tend to pretend it was all "Leave it to Beaver" and "Happy Days"... but the nation was rife with racism, segregation, sexism, war, the red scare, the threat of nuclear war, assasinations, riots, scandal, protests... etc... It wasn't any better or worse than now, socially... just different. If you're pining for a time when straight, white, Christian men held all the power, economic stability, upward mobility, and status... I'll grant you, the 50's were the decade for you... but for everyone else, it wasn't the paradise you imagine it to be. [/QUOTE]
