We have the most opportunity, best jobs, highest standard of living (for a large country) and more freedom, although not as much as we once had.
"Why is that?"

Can you walk down to your local hardware store and easily buy a firearm to protect yourself or your family? It is also much easier today for local & state governments to seize one's property, whether under eminent domain or RICO. I'm sure others here can name rights we have lost since the 1960's...

That's why I prefer the 1950s lifestyle and freedoms over today.
