7. The communists introduced the liberal way of thinking in our schools and our government ,during the mid 1960s ,they knew that ones they control those 2 American institutions the next generations will be easy to destroy ,they knew that it was impossible to defit America in a war but by destroing what made it strong ,if hillery wins the election it will be the final chapter for our way of life.
8. I was 6 years old in 1958 when this film was made, and life was a joy back then. Life was simple and we had 10% of the problems compared to today. MOST PEOPLE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DIDN'T EVEN LOCK THEIR DOORS AT NIGHT!
   90% of the population had good jobs and we manufactured the best products in the world.
   The Govt. and cops didn't bother you unless you were a murderer or rapist. Cops weren't road pirates like the crooks with badges like today. People talked to each other, We didn't have a damn cell phone glued to our ears, and we functioned just fine.
   We had clean water and air, dad worked and we had 2 cars and a 3 BR house. Mom raised my sister and me. We weren't rich, but we always had enough to go out on the weekends. The good old days are gone.
   The USA has gone to Hell in 50 years and I blame the greedy parasitic bankster globalists. May they get what they deserve one day.
9. some of these things look modern to me hmm
10. 14:33 Comisar Rex from Umbrella Corp O.O
11. Gayety indeed!
12. 27:08 YESS
13. Great video
14. I'm guessing they don't include "Bobby Trendy."
15. And most of those "modern" buildings with all the glass, fiberglass, and flat roofs from the 50s were falling apart 20 years later.
16. I'm amused at the constant praise of the talents of the American stylist when I see the Ericafon at 1:34, the hanging Japanese shoji-style panels at 4:47, and the Barcelona chair at 5:04 - none of these being American at all.
17. My word, wasn't it a bright, shining, glamorous, colorful, clean and optimistic world back then!
    
    And if you believe this was the reality of America in the '50s, friend, you are downright ignorant. And yes, I was alive then.
18. There's been a lot of historical revisionism regarding the 1950's. The current myth is people were unhappy and repressed, that females were Stepford women, etc. I've never met anyone, male or female, who was a child, teen, young adult, or middle aged in the 1950's (and early 60's) who wouldn't go back in a minute.
    
    Everything went to hell when the boomers came of age and fell under the spell of the Marxist New Left. They've been hell bent on destroying the American Experiment and Western Civilization ever since. And they have largely succeeded.
19. and kinsey had to go and through a wrench into it all :) Love it, "Possessions" Individual choice, as long as you chose the right thing. 
20. Wonderful video
