The 1950's

The 1950's changed everything. Well, that's a little exaggerated because every change changes everything in the long run. But I really like the 1950's because its when we started rebelling. People sacrificed SO much during WWII that when all the soldiers came back and settled down people began to think about how short life really was. They started letting lose after that. Then the TV came and things really changed. We often think of the 1960's as the decade of change but the 1950's planted all the seeds for the dramatic decade that followed.
