We seem to have had a lot of air time devoted to people who long to “get their country back” during the last presidential cycle didn’t we? I’m forty, and I disagree heartily, just judging by my current living standard and freedoms as a woman of modest means, and comparing that to those of past eras.
The time most longed for appears to be the 1950′s era. They seem to forget all about the uptight attitudes and the world’s tense politics in the grip of the Cold War. Maybe the pleasures of the bomb drills are what they miss so much.
