Re: 10 not-so-great things about the 1950s

I would have liked to have lived through the 50s. It seems the world was a nicer place back then. I suppose it's easy to look back on things and give them a rosy glow but I really think things were better in those days. Will anybody be saying the same thing in 20 years time? 'Oh 2007, they were wonderful times.' I shouldn't think so.
We might be better off materialistically now but people in the 50s coped without entertainment gadgets and labour saving devices because they never had them. If someone took our washer/dryer and handed us a dolly tub and a mangle we'd keel over!
Another thing about the 50s era is the pride people had in everything and the standards. All that's gone now.
