Given the world we live in today with violence on television, I think your scenarios are a bit sugar coated.....there are people out there who fit the 2010 profile regardless. I agree with some but that would only be in a perfect world.

In regards to technology I absolutely agree

But as far as how the world was, how people acted and treated each other, how you could make a living, where you could raise a family, the "good old days" absolutely blow today away. Blame it on the economy, immigration, "political correctness", anything you want really but this country is messed up right now.

To say things werent "better" overall 20 years, or even 50 years ago, just isnt being honest
