What was the best time in America?

Quote from rcanfiel:

why would a civil war be on the best time list? Over 600,000 died and it ripped the country apart. That is like having "The Great Depression" on the list...

in most fights there is a winner, o I don't mean the person who fought and won, I mean the person who was standing outside the ring watching and at the same time making a profit from the war, that is the real winner, and if I were him I would call it the best times too

Ahh yes I remember the colonial period, no dentists and warm beer.

Ahh yes, the Depression. I had to take accordian lessons so I would have something to fall back on in case we had another depression and there were no jobs. People always left tips for accordian players on the corner.

I'll go with the Clinton Era. I was married then and getting a little on the side too, just like our Prez. My wife was watching cable tv.

I took over a failing business and turned it around in the Reagan era. My boss thought I was a wonder boy. Thanks Ronnie.

Well when (if) you get to live to the age of 65 when you never expected to see another sunrise past 35 with your past lifestyle, HA. Then you really do realize the best is in the past but you still have a great life yet in front of the headlights.

Now to answer the question..............The best times was when 18 year old chicks could go into bars and the sexual revolution was in full swing, burning bras, mini skirts what were never to short, the pill was the then greatest invention since sliced bread. DA 60's man, DA 60;s ..........muscle cars, wild women jobs were a dime a dozen.

Only sad part about 60's was Nam, bad deal there.

That would probably be a few European countries...

Easily the Clinton era. Gas was a dollar, stocks only went up, the empire was topping and our biggest worry was a blowjob.

Compared to the 20s, there were way more and higher wealth distribution under Clinton so %-wise more people were happier....
