Many people, most of them Konservatives, wish to return to a simpler time that exists only in their imaginations. I lived through those times and they were not pretty.

And now a question to ask is this: What was so simple about 1950?
The 1950s was a time when gender relations were harmonious, compared to now. People were happy their traditional gender roles before misandric feminism skyrocketed.
You are not asking because you are genuinely curious in a positive way but instead you want to trash, dump all over and despoil anything I might have to say about the good times of the 50’s because you don’t particularly care for that time period and I do. There are a literally a myriad of reasons that could easily be developed into a thesis paper and none of which you would agree with anyway. To answer your question the OP posed a question and I answered it, that’s why.
I am assuming Lou Thesz was the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. I'll have to look that up. I would love to go back in time, hang out in black jazz/blues clubs and freak people out.
I will always wonder how different America would be today if 9/11 never happened. Flying would be much better, we wouldn't be in as much debt, and Bush never would have had the second term.

Don't kid yourself, there were a lot of very miserable people back then. My mother is a very brilliant woman, she should have been a doctor or lawyer but was a victim of her time.
She was co-validictorian of her HS graduating class (of course they had to find a boy to give it to as well, even though she was clearly the best student) she ended up marrying my Dad, a soldier and farmer like 99% of the women of her era. She didn't go to college, she didn't even get a drivers license. She had nine kids and lived her life as a farmwife.
She was way too smart for that life, she wasn't a very happy person.
I would take 2012 7 days a week over 1950.
