Your first encounter with that priest?
WWIII really owe Ron Howard for this one.
So what era of America do we want to go back to?
-The late 90's with the balanced budget?
~2010 with the dream of everyone paying for healthcare?
-1953?
-1970 The music was pretty good and besides the spat of assassinations there was hope of change.
-1859?
-1988 did feel pretty good if you ignored some corruption, terrorism failures and debt. We were winning the cold war.
1968 was perhaps the worst year in our history.I would say 1968. Haight/Asbury hippy children of the kids of survivors of the depression. The climax of the Boomer lifestyle self hate evaluation cycle that lead to this Californian weirdness that leads to gay marriage or sanctuary cities.
WWII
We saved the world

Assassinations of MLK and RFK, Riots in our cities, Chicago convention, war protests,
Um, anyone who truley wishes to "go back to the 'good ol' days'" should start first by disposing of ALL technological advances since that time.So what era of America do we want to go back to?
Really? Post WWII? No Color TV, scarce A/C, no computers(let alone internet, smart phones, or interstate highways), No thanks!1945, the last time we won a war.

I really don't care for a bygone era.
Despite all the posted pessimistic, divisive, and political rhetoric from both parties, and the media.
Life is pretty damn good right now.
Live a comfortable life, have a few toys, get to play on the lakes and in the wilderness. Have a great wife, friends, family and life.
Really don't get all the fuss.
I would have to choose the 1950s, when I was a teenager.
Of course, things were far from perfect.
But if you look at "I Love Lucy," you get some idea of a more innocent time.
There was no social media type of frenzy.
It was a time when most Americans had good-paying jobs, we had an avuncular president (and war hero), the new highway system was a-building, and people did NOT fixate on crime.

That means (depending on when the good ol' days were) no:
Seriously, who really wants to do without the conveniences of modern U.S. society?
- smart phones
- cell phones of any kind
- internet
- advancements in medicine
- cable
- TV as a whole
- radio
- cars
- roads
- airplanes
- washing machines
- dish washers
- A/C
- Etc.
The Golden age of Rock was 1966 to 1972 and the Beatles were at the forefront. That music is iconic and is still widely played today.Um, anyone who truley wishes to "go back to the 'good ol' days'" should start first by disposing of ALL technological advances since that time.So what era of America do we want to go back to?

We all got along just fine without that stuff, though in fact we had a lot of that stuff by the time I was born. Don't see 'smart phones' as anything 'great', just another scam to get idiots to pay yet another a monthly service charge for something useless.
As for myself, I really really liked driving across the West from Dallas to LA at an average speed at night around 110 mph with the 8 track and my amped up speakers blaring away, just to turned around and come back the same way, after a day or two of partying. You could go faster after they finished the interstate, but it wasn't as challenging then, kind of boring.
The only big change for the better was when FM stereo radio came along, and that forced rock and roll music to get much better; despite all the hype, it largely sucked in the 1950's and 1960's because the music market skewed toward the high range of crappy transistor radios and the bizarre whims and ever fickle tastes of dumbass teenage girls, who have no taste.. Anybody who doubts this need only check out all the Billboard Top 100 or Top 200 charts from around 1953 on; most of those 'great old classics' aren't near the top, and some years they're way down at # 75 or less. It's hilarious, really, how lousy the popular songs were in those days, pretty awful stuff dominated. And it only got worse with the Beatles, a revamped squeaky shrill little homo barbershop quartet came along, and because of all those shrieking lunatic girls everybody tried to copy them. My god The horror!!! THE HORROR!!! Endured that awful dark time for a few years until the real musicians began the rescue campaigns.

And segregation was still trendy.1945, the last time we won a war.
Idiotic premise.
We don't want to go back to any era. We simply want to return to common sense decency and child rearing.
Here is he point where you cherry pick specific examples that were NOT very prevalent and try to pass them off as the norm in whatever era you also cherry pick.
Ey, I thought 1988 and really 1998 did not really suck to say the least. We had problems but there were positives.
So Common Sense Decency and Child Rearing? What does the Trump campaign have to do with decency and raising kids or what did they have to say about it? We aren't talking Mike Pence, right?
