I was definitely not "of age" in the fifties, so I forgot about all those bad things. :oops: I just remember the TV show, "Happy Days." :roll: I also think about post-war prosperity, and cool, drive-in diners. I must admit, my assessment superficially overlooked the blatant racism of that era. :(

I think all days under mankind's rule are bad days, Brother Bill. I long for the Kingdom of Heaven under the Lord, Jesus Christ.
