I also wonder why Mexicans aren't clamouring to invade Guatamala. I mean if they want to use that ole stolen land argument.......

There was overcrowding in schools, crime was higher in the 1960s and 1970s than today, and not to mention that there were less people going to college. I wish I remembered the name of the book I read for California History. It stated the dire condition of California...in the 1950s. It proposed the golden age was in the 1910s.
My point is that all time periods have their pros and cons.
