Yeah, the '50s were nasty.

Elvis was bad enough, but McCarthy really makes me gag. Not that the '30s were any better. Well, at least those happy klansmen didn't stomp on anybody's civil rights then...*
I'm wondering about one thing, Fedora. You keep saying what a great time time the '20s and 30's were. I don't think even you are old enough to remember. I also think you are wearing your rose-colored sunglasses that make the past look so wonderful. However, if you're serious about going back in time, maybe reincarnation will do the trick. Maybe you should give it a shot! :p

: After reading a post below I started thinking about how weird it will be to have Indy in the 50's. Civil rights, the beatniks, Eisenhower, pedal pushers, hot rods, Sinatra style hats, those funny looking sunglasses, Elvis Presley, atomic bomb shelters, drive-ins with roller skating carhops. You get the idea. He was much better suited for the 20's 30's and 40's. I guess I like the era he was originally put in as much as I like the character. Fedora
