How many of your neighbors bragged about that to you? None in my
neighbor. No one at my school (1500 kids or so). No one in entire area
(Bay Area) in newspaper or TV reports. Where did you live in the 50's?
Morocco?

Maybe not for you. I had fun and was happy. (But my happiness usually
is not dependent on "the times")
Sorry you missed Chuck Berry, early Memphis Elvis, Doo-Wop, Willie
Mays, sputnik, polio vaccine, Burns and Allen ...

Though I am not a neo-con, I have no desire to return to the 50's, or
60's or 70's. etc. Life is RIGHT HERE NOW. Not in some golden era of
our childhoods.
And I don't see neo-cons want to return to 50's. Among other things,
don't they seek universal self-determination? We have come a long ways
on that front since the 50's.
