3. Something I read once convinced me that the 30s

was a wonderful time - not, of course, if you were starving or forced off your land by the Dust Bowl. But for those who were lucky enough to have jobs that provided a living wage, the 30s must have been a simply amazing time. Think about it - no AIDS, no ICBMs, no BS about having to give your SS number to rent a place, great movies & music, the first stirrings of changing attitudes and social mores, and you could go out and buy yourself a Pierce-Arrow if you could afford it. I imagine that it must've been a tremendously exciting time to be alive.
