Abortion were illegal and many women died by back yard abortionists and coathangers
Black and Whites went to different schools and had to sit in the back of the bus
People died from Small Pox and still got Polio
Having a heart attacked meant instant death because no defibulator was available
Remember when at the same time you wanted that 57 Chevy my Dad went to Korea and died for his country
Women were not supposed to work, stay home and raise the kids and cook
No Computers
Porn was underground and run by the Mafia and not some 18 year old webmaster
There was no Union so kids were working in the mines of West Virginia. 11 and under was preferred.
Next time you think of the past also remember the not so good things and how far we have come.

It was an E-mail I received, not my words.
It wasn't a perfect society then, just as it isn't now, but generally, I am of the opinion that it was a better society than it is now.
I am sorry you lost your father in the War. I served in the Korean war twice. Who knows, maybe I knew your father, but probably a slim chance of that.
