Gimme a break.. I'm so sick of hearing how the olden day were so good. Ok, they were great if you like world wars, racism, Jim Crow, flu pandemics, lynchings, polio, measles, mumps, smallpox and pickled pig's feet.
They were bliss if you long for the days when cars got 5 miles per gallon...you could be arrested for adultery, oral sex, being gay, or being a communist. If you were black you couldnt get into a decent college, get a loan, or buy a house anywhere nice. if you were a woman you couldnt vote until 1919, abortions were illegal and birth control was mostly non-existent.
If you had a mental illness there was only the great option of lobotomy or electric shock, and mental wards were worse than prisons.
And so on.
Maybe the modern world isnt perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than the "good ol' days".
