The rose colored glasses here are pretty nuts...
Yup, the tinted lenses go for a bunch of
other abject negatives from that era as well.
About the only thing I really miss from those days is the robust manufacturing base in the USA/North America, and the living wage jobs it provided to it's less 'privileged'/NOT one percenter citizens in the PRE global economy days.
But of course it is too late now, and that evil genie ain't going back in the bottle.
Sadly, there are still many out there TODAY who think that "real men" drive while impaired, beat the ever-living c**p out of their spouses/girlfriends/loved ones, and proudly/LOUDLY bully
anyone they think they can without any repercussions.
