It's easy to look back at history with "rose-colored glasses" because we know how things turn out and we take comfort in that... we know now that a good majority of us survived the Depression, we know now that the good guys won World War II and we know that we survived the Cold War... but if you lived during those times things definitely weren't certain. History has been written... the future is anyone's guess.
