: Micah,
: I don't see civil rights as a bad thing.
: As for Fedora's post, I'd rather hear what was is so damn great about the '20s, '30s and '40s. However, he never states his actual REASONS for saying that. All he says pertains to complaining about beatniks, JFK killing fashion, and various other gripes.
: Oh, and I don't want your benefit of the doubt. I don't give it to you either, you know... :p

: : FG,

...like Allen Ginsburg, Gary Snyder and Jack Kerouac. The list that I gave was nothing more than a slice of the 50's as I remember it. Really FG, you assume a hell of alot sometimes. Let me go ahead and say what I personally like about the 30's and 40's so you can get a good nights' sleep. First of all you and I both know that every era has it's own evils as well as good points. With that being said, let me say that what I find attractive about that period is the lack of laws that protect us from ourselves. I liked the mentality of the folks back then as compared to now. At heart, I despise a goverment that legislates morality along with laws that prohibit stupidity. While this era had it's shortcomings, personal freedom for most of us was much greater than it is today. We didn't have the social engineers at work meddling in lives. The hardship of the depression years actually brought folks together in my neck of the woods, and they helped one another. We cared more for one another. At the end of the day, what really matters is not air conditioning and faster cars. What matters is honesty and honor. I think it was more prevalent in the 30's. Fedora
