As far as the poster you are referring to, I'm pretty sure it's the 50's that he was recalling. There are, after all, still some of us "pre-1946'ers" living here. It's not all Baby Boomers.

I also recall the 50's socially being a relatively benign age. Seems to me things started going "south" in the 60's.
