1. For many reasons, between the years 1920 and about 1950 fascinate me. The culture and the ways of thinking are interestingly different, almost as if all the events took place in a different country. Battles within and without, whether for money (or lack thereof) or for human life and freedom were handled in a way that probably wouldn't happen today. Things that happened then could very well repeat themselves in the future, more realistically for monetary reasons then anything else, and because something like the Great Depression happened we already know what will work and what won't if we should ever face such a crisis as that again.

3. I think money and the want for "the good life" is the main thing that America's building itself on, not only now but in the past as well. Greediness, Jealousy, and Acting as if I'm the Only One in the World That Needs to Be Taken Care Of is not a Biblical approach to life, but unfortunately I'm nearly surprised when I see someone who doesn't follow these rules. Everyone thinks about money. The poor who actually need it and actually need to concentrate on getting more simply to support their families, and the rich who never seem to have enough. No matter the year, there will always be someone following the "rules" and "guidelines" of America.
