    Are you kidding? … it was the great old days for Straight White Christian Men … they were free to be completely racist aholes, treat women like slaves, have as many children as they wanted and not take care of any of them, have the world at their feet, make a ton of money just for being who they were and they were accountable to no one.

    The reason why the past was so great for a small segment of society was that it was so shitty for 99% of rest of the world

      Coca-Cola switched from fresh to spent coca leaves in 1903, so the '50s are about a half century too late for cocaine in sodas.
