I can just imagine a horde of people reading that crap and saying "Oh you know, that's so true. It was so much better in the old days", then closing the internet browser, and going down to watch ACA on their 58 inch plasma TVs while their kids are busy upstairs on the other computer browsing 4chan.
Edit: It is not "sad, but true". It's sentimental **** rubbish that ignores the reality of the 1957 scenario, while painting a fallacious picture of the 2012 scenario to appeal to simple-minded idiots.
