From a society/country perspective, we are far worse off than the 1950's.

Glad to see you thought the 50s were better too.
Wow, but I'm sure a lot of posters would think life in America was better with discrimination and segregation.

I took that as a Marvin Gaye reference.

Ya, both of us agree the 50s were better so we should try to see who else agrees with us.

Black voter suppression
Rampant employment discrimination
No civil rights statutes

Racism everywhere
Women kept in their place
One of these things is a really, really good thing though. You even stated it correctly.

No doubt. I even went so far as to agree to avoid arguing.

I'm sure that's what your thoughts are, but it wasn't mine.

Local problem. The murder rate nationally is the lowest it's been in over 50 years.
Now, other categories of crime...that's a different story. The link only goes back to 1960 but all other categories of crime are up significantly. And that's one of the advantages the 1950s have over now. Which goes back to the point about some things being better and some being worse.
Rate per 100K halfway down

I'd like to try ludes. But the 70s as a whole seems like a rough time other than the music. Economically and politically we were in the crapper.
