For a lot of people, yes I think they most certainly have. In fact, I don't think that an honest argument could be made that they haven't for the people. Minorities can eat and sit where they like, homosexuals are not rounded up and arrested, men and women are not put on trial for not being American enough, women are paid equally for equal work. I should remind you that Leave it to Beaver was not a documentary series.

There should be no problem removing it. I have no issue with that. Just the issue of drumming it up year after year. But I think I'm more so tired of hearing how someone is offended.
You look at the good old days in a different way then myself. No doubt the individual freedoms of all walks of life are better off. (women claim there is not equal pay but that is another thread). When I refer to the good old days I speak of summertime lemonade and rope swings over the pond. Lynching blacks is not what I speak of when referring to the good old days.
I don't need be reminded Leave it Beaver was not a documentary series. The comment was not necessary nor pertinent to the conversation.
