Great video. One thing that caught my attention was I didn't see any obese people. How Amerika has changed, sad!

In 1940, my grandfather bought a Bell and Howell 16mm movie camera and began 30 years of documenting our family. My mom has a closet stacked floor to ceiling with the reels. This post has really made me want to get on her about transferring them all to DVD before the film decays. They are all so cool! Not your typical family movies - grandpa was a pilot and the family traveled a lot.
 Quoting: Rev StarGazer


and then post them to youtube and link here on glp..

that would be awesome to see

Everyone has such nostalgia for the past... Anyone remember what was going on in Europe at this time.

Also everyone looked the same, go to the financial district all the shirts will be tucked in. Not a lot of character if you ask me... Weren't blacks still at the back of the bus at this point.

Wake up people, yes it was a cool place and a cool time, but so is today and it is what you make, just imagine the discussions on GLP at the time, not much different than today, war, coming out of depression, segregation.

It is fine to think of the past, but don't idealize things that are not true.

It could be better, but if you keep electing politicians who have no qualifications relative to human needs we will continue to go down hill. Technology if used to benefit humanity would give everyone on earth a lifestyle equivalent to any rich person today. We need the technical people to influence society to make it happen.

No Obamas or Romneys will make it happen.

No. it WAS that good and old timers can attest to it. You want to rewrite history and diminish and tear it down because fond factual memories of such a great era threaten you agenda. I've seen plenty of guys like you attacking the past and trying to diminish it on other sites. Things were still pretty good in the early 60s when I was a boy but it has gone to hell as we know. But you like it...you love it. You like this world as it is and you{and your kind]are the one's making it what it is.

Ignore this, everyone does, but the truth is down the middle. We have benefits today that they didn't have then, and vice versa.

Women were locked away in the house, Blacks were segregated, nobody knew what the hell Hommus was, No computers, no color TV, Daddy drank too much and hit everyone with impunity and maybe went at daughter sexually, Homosexuals weren't even talked about, let alone accepted, Nazis, prohibitionists, Con Artists, Unsolved Crimes, Mental Health Atrocities, Epidemics...

 Quoting: Martin Farbles


^^^ I was just gonna post this. Food was pure then. Much of obesity is triggered by a con't hunger, as the body struggles to get the natural nutrients it needs to function. GMOs; depleted minerals in soils; things like aspertane, high fructose corn syrup, msg, fluoride, big pharma drugs etc further fuck things up. Kids spend so much time indoors now gaming, with schools cutting down/ eliminating outdoor games. Sad.

My kids were born in the 90's and think we looked retarded in our 70's photos and videos.

So I am thinking the ones who don't appreciate, and have a longing for the good ole' days, weren't born and raised during those times.

They have no idea what we are longing for.
