WHO WERE THOSE DAYS GOOD FOR?


[+] ballot by larrynelmira
ACTIVE Sat Aug 25, 07 - Sun Aug 24, 08

Guys like us we had it made, and you know where you were then, girls were girls and men were men, mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again, didn't need no welfare states everybody pulled his weight, those were the days!



I’m thinking with no social safety nets, a lot of people suffered, must have been terrible for gays , females and minorities.

A chicken in every pot two cars in every garage, do you think Hoover was referring to every person in America, regardless of color, sex and sexual orientation?

Maybe he was, I don’t know, but from what I read about those times, not so sure.

Mothers without husbands probably were not well accepted in society .

Segregation would have been one of my biggest issues and one of the reasons I would not want to live in those days.

In general who would have been more likely to get a chicken in every pot ?

White Men
White women married to White Men
Black Men
Black Men married to Black Women
White Men Married to Black Women and vise versa
Hispanics
Native Americans
others
none of the above
gays
None of the above or below
Mothers
Single mothers
Children
Norman Lear (he made a lot of money out of them I guess)
Robber barons
folks who drove La Salle's
Daughter_of_Khitai
SORRY, THIS POLL
IS NOW CLOSED.

Not even all white men. Rich white ones not poor ones. Certainly not poor slobs like people portrayed in "The Honeymooners". If they had a half a chicken every two weeks, they would consider themsleves lucky.

I think that there were quite a few social safety nets at that time.

Although you are right that minorities, including gays weren't all that fond of those times.

but doesn't that mean that things are much better now?



I like the Family Guy's take on this classic opening. You reallize that All in the Family was a parody of the right like Bunker right?

It was laughing at them and pointing to their flaws and foibles.

I'm not saying things aren't better now,been over 80 years, I would hope so, but no Social Security even at that time, I dont know what the government did during the Hoover days as far as helping it's poor citizens.

I know, I wish I had left that in there

I wasn't taking the words in the song as a fact , I was mocking it and how ignorant the character of Archie Bunker was, which I think or I would hope most people know..
by larrynelmira on Sun Aug 26, 07 5:49am [+]

Yes, what I meant was, they're just wheeling down the highway, not a care in the world, oblivious to the facts around them, or not concerning themselves with them.
