You're talking about times that were 70+ years ago, so unless you are 90 years of age you were either a kid in the 40/50s or you are vouching for times for which you weren't even present. It's interesting how conservatives went from gushing about the Reagan era to going so far back that the good ol days were the ones where they didn't even exist.
It's just a bit odd to pine for days before you existed. Nostalgia is getting extra wacky. I guess it's sort of like the Amish who seem to be convinced that the 1700's were just the greatest.
i wasn't alive then but my grandfather and father were. my uncles were. they all worked in the mines. most had second jobs. they all worked there fingers bloody, broke there backs and suffered medical conditions. they also managed to sacrifice and end up owning there own homes, pieces of land, stay faithful to their wives, raise their children with good morals, keep god in their hearts and be responsible, law abiding citizens that were responsible for their own lives and didn't get anything easy handed to them.
did that era have it's problems. yes. but it also had a lot of good lessons and ways of life that i think we've lost along the way.
