Raising 2 kids in today's world, with all the electronics, online dangers, and other modern complications, I used to fantasize about living in the quieter, simpler 50's. That is, until I watched 2 episodes of "Madmen". NO THANK YOU!!!

Families went to church together. Kids were safe 24/7 anywhere in town. You could be a middle income family on one income. Everyone was polite; kids had manners. You knew that when you grew up you could be anything that you wanted to be if you wanted to work hard enough and study hard enough. All our products were made in America and they lasted for years and years and years. There was pride in your family, your town, your state and your country and it was talked about openly. You could brag about them without anyone getting hurt feelings because they bragged about theirs. Americans were proud of being Americans.
