My friends and I debate this from time to time. Both were periods of prosperity and decadence. Which would you rather live in?

Even as a Mets fan I'd probably pick the 20s to watch Ruth and Gehrig play.

Would be nice in a dream only. Would never want to go back. Only push forward. No matter the times, there were good and always will be the bad.

Yea, time machines aren't an option for black people like myself. Might malfunction and end up in the wrong year.
