Are they not breeding and keeping house any longer? I think they still are, only after work.

Broadly, I'd take anytime before early 2000s (I distinctly view forever wars that started after 9/11 as NOT great) but in particular, 1960s- technical innovation, rigorous schools, low crime, civil rights, nuclear family still intact, low cost of living, cheap college. Very much admire President Kennedy and what he wanted for this country.

Michelle Obama’s book hits on this, their childhood in Chicago before the gangs and poverty moved in.

Kids of all colors and creed played in the parks until dinner time. Families dressed up and went to church and temple. People were part of positive communities.

School had textbooks, high expectations, discipline, and parents backed them up.

1980s.

Outstanding cinema (ET, gremlins, Space Camp, Die Hard... need I go on?). Best new wave music, rap emerged as a genre, and rock took itself seriously. The US Army was tough and the CIA killed bad guys and we liked it. Bankers were on coke. Madonna was scandalous and Michael Jackson's moon walk set off an international obsession. Communism fell. Reagan gave the "where do we find such men?" speech and everyone loved it. We had an amazing country and we knew it. We were on top of the m-fing world.

[b]They did not work outside the home. Also, they did not have several kids outside of wedlock for it to be the norm or glorified, and it was not looked upon to opt not to have children and instead lead career and pleasure lives. So yes, it is different than back then.
