Actually, I do know. But then, folks were much more individualistic. Folks were more community oriented. We didn't have confiscatory tax rates that enslave the wage earner to the whims of Congress-critters who seek votes by theft and redistribution. We had fewer laws that restricted speech and religion. WE could build as we pleased upon our own land without government interference. There are a host of ways that people were freer. Don't deny that.

I don't agree with you at all.

Okay. There are too many regulations on building today.

I don't deny that the scope and size of the federal governemnt hasn't grown out of control since 1922. But I don't believe our basic individual freedoms, having been undercut, as some folks do.
