We have a fella here that insists it was "better then". Yea right. In the railroad business, they used to be able to tell if you were a railroader by how many fingers were missing. Ever see a picture of Altoona or Scranton or Pittsburg of the late 30's and 40's? People were dying of black lung without ever stepping foot in a mine. How many people died or were disfigured in the 50's in a car accident because of the design of the car? The cool chrome bullet in the middle of the steering wheel went right through your chest. The key in the ignition switch shattered your kneecap.
I'm not knocking any of those things, mind you, I just am very reluctant to say "good old days".
