Ah yes. The good ol days. Where women couldn't vote and minorties were more or less on the level of dogs and heavy machinery.

The good ol'days were hardly good and its rather insulting to sit here and say they were.

I would argue a socitey that imopsed property regulations for voting and kept people in bondage is hardly what a nation state should aspire for. Even the greatest generation had a quasi caste system.

If these people worked so very hard and knew all there civics why would they do this to groups of people? Why would the McCarthy hearings happen?
