Question

Who would like to go back to the 50.60, when life was so simpleand we diding have to lock our doors..judy ?

Answer 1

I would go back to the 60's anytime. Long hair, peace and love, the Beatles, great music, Woodstock, the original 6 hockey teams, low gasoline, great looking cars, Drive In movies, less pollution, less cars, great dancing, fancy hairdos, the mini, great jobs, less immigrants, super toys, fancy bikes, great radio, family values, Woolworth's, Kresge,Metropolitan stores, shakes and ice cream parlors, Great candies, milk in a bottle, fresh bread at the door, low rent, less taxes, more for your money. Sounds good to me.

Answer 2

I would not, I am just too tired to do it all again.  

Answer 3

Locked doors aren`t even a challenge.  The paranoia is manufactured by those who crave excitement.  In other words everyone can lead a simple life if they choose to.  Then again there would be nothing to complain about and for some that would be tremendously boring.

Where I live the majority of houses are completely barred, locked, and have security systems installed.  It is a joke.  When there are power failures, people can`t get their cars out of their garages.  Alarms are going off all the timedue to dogs and cats moving around, or wind for that matter from fans or airconditioners or open windows,  When people lose things, they say that there was a robber.  Seriously, it is a con-job.

Those who don`t bother with all that stuff  say they never have any problems and I am talking about some in fairly rich neighborhoods.

Most do keep a dog or two but that never made any difference to anyone except the mailman.  

There is nothing like the present.  Cheers!

Answer 4

I miss the summer of love. All the dope I smoked and girls I "knew". Things were sooo much fun in the 60s. The 50's I was too young

Answer 5

Judy, I'm glad you see that time period as simple. I remember it well, and it was anything but simple.

Yes, we didn't lock our doors...we lived in a nice little town. But, society was changing and growing. That was the time of the Civil Rights Movement....the counter culture....Viet Nam....even in our peaceful, little town we saw and felt the change. Everyone was on edge, and the "peace" was forced...a great big bubble of "look, aren't we happy" surrounded by a huge roil of "we want change".

I'd much prefer to look to a future that holds all the possibilities.

Answer 6

Afraid not.  I'd give up a hundred 'simple life' scenarios just for the leaps we've made in the time since in terms of medicine.

Answer 7

It was so simple back then, we only locked the closet doors, in a matter of speaking.The laws have changed, society's have come to accept changes.Women's Lib, was shocking at the time.Human rights came into being, for Children, Women, and Men.The g*y community can live among the population, without all the bad nowadays, compared to that era.Medicine has come such a long way, people are healthier, and live longer.It's ok to be different now, not like the rascism, that ran rampent in those years.The list goes on.......
