I don't know about the world's past, but my personal past was riddled with depression and anxiety. I couldn't be happier now, and I didn't have to rely on prescriptions or shrinks. So i'd say that the present seems much better, at least for me.

Because they were. The 60's were the absolute best time to grow up. The innocent age. Wolfman Jack was on the radio and everyone across the nation listened at night. People had jobs, commodities were cheap, the air was cleaner, having a baby did not cost 20,000 dollars, you actually could afford to buy gasoline, the movies were 50 cents, bread was 18 cents, a new volkswagen cost under 2,000 dollars, and going on a date cost 5.00 and that was everything. The music had meaning. a great time to fall in love and stay in love. A new brick 3-bedroom ranch home cost 16,500 dollars. Today and America's future is uncertain. My children agree that they could live without cellphones, computers and dvds, if only the 60s were here again for them.
