[QUOTE="PloverWing, post: 76783757, member: 307356"] I'm female, so it would be dangerous for me to have lived in an earlier time. I've received medical care on several occasions that was not available 100 years ago. 150 years ago, I would not have been able to vote in many US states. 200 years ago, I would not have been able to own property in many US states. So, it might be fun to visit the past for a day, but I wouldn't dare live there. A century or two in the future -- now, that might be fun to try. If "the late half of the 20th century" is the time in the past that you're yearning for, then maybe I was "born in another time". I was born in the early 1960s. It was exciting in some ways to live through the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s, but I wouldn't really want to return to that. Except that I miss my bell bottoms and psychedelic posters. :) [/QUOTE]
