Great thread
I liked 1929, but it was a blur
The death of JFK was the end of America as we knew it. He died because he tried to fight corruption at several levels. Since then we have become an oligarchy, and have not lived in a democracy since. "for the people, of the people, and by the people"...has become for the corporations, of the corporations, and by the corporations.

I voted the 50`s but feel it lies from the early 50`s to mid/late 60`s.I think that was a turning point in a lot of different ways. I think the 70`s started the time when people were becoming ok with the government taking care of them not just in a time of dire need but for decades or for life. It was the loss of innocents from the evils of the world evil was always there but the advent of tv made it real and brought it right home to everyone(being connected as we are today is both a gift and a curse). since then we have had the down fall of Marriage divorce became the right think to do because you hit a rough patch and just were not in love anymore(do to many many reasons a topic all its own).for me personally it was the late 80 into early 90`s but that has to do with a point in my specific life not our country(my teens were the best days of my life stress free, healthy, naive, free, unjaded, ignorance was bliss).
I`m still looking at the green side of the sod/turf. I hope to yet be seeing a few more good old days.
A society willing to trade liberty for temporary security deserves neither and will lose both

Interesting question
Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!
When the sun never set on the British Empire.
Was born in 81, so I don`t feel like I can answer the question without having lived through those other decades. Having said that, I don`t like the direction we`re heading
