Ahh yes - the fifties! What a great time for a white man. No civil rights troubles - they knew their place; never heard about homosexuals - the word gay meant happy! Pre- women's lib - women wore bras (which were unmentionables). Of course marginal tax rates were much much higher than today, but those were good times!
