The time when America was great:

“The period following World War II was the perfect time to be a child in the United States. The Korean War ended in 1953, blandly reassuring two-term President Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House from 1953 through 1961, the natural world was still flourishing, and it seemed as if there just wasn’t a lot to worry about. ”

David Lynch. “Room to Dream.”


Many boomers, including our so-called president, feel nostalgic for those perfect times.
