I’m only 35 and I long for a place like Pleasantville.(Before the degenerates F’d it up.)
I long for Mayberry.
I see these PBS documentaries on America after WW II and it looks like an AWESOME PLACE. Then I contrast that with what I see in Houston and the local Wal-Mart and I can’t stand what I see.
To get away from it all, my wife and I have started watching 50’s movies. I like that America, today’s America, I can’t stand.

Places very close to that still exist. I know where some are (and don’t ask, because I ain’t tellin’!). You have to find them for yourself. HINT: they cannot be found in some states; they CAN be found in others. You have to be willing to look - and willing to move.

Dangerous, provocative and politically incorrect question:
Look at the _faces_ in those documentaries.
What is (was) their ethnic heritage?

Excellent post.
Tonic for my psyche in that I feel the same way at age 50. I feared it was just because I’m getting old.
Don’t let the perverts, fags and hippies on the Left delude you. America REALLY was like that at one time. The wholesome, nuclear family of Leave it to Beaver was for the most part, a pretty accurate portrayal of that era.
We should weep for what we have lost.
When the power goes out it lets me know what I am missing. I don't watch that much TV anymore, but when I do, I enjoy HD. I hate this computer I'm working on, but it makes me money (what's the joke about “death by powerpoint”?) With a power outage I am dead in the water. I can read a book but ultimately high tech makes me money. As far as doing away with engineering jobs, the H1B visa is taking (took) care of that.
