Yeah, yeah, I remember milkmen, heck, even ice men, and not locking your door and so on, but it wasn't like that for each and every one of us who lived during those times.

There was a lot of accepted evil during those times: Driving drunk was more or less approved, beating your wife was more or less approved, child molestation was kept hush-hush, being black/brown was a horror for many, police brutality was common and on and on.

Yes, the fifties were great, but not completely...
