- More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at HOME.

- Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
- Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason.
- Five leading causes of death in the U.S. were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke - The American flag had 45 stars.
- Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn’t been admitted to the Union yet..
- The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!!
- Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea hadn’t been invented yet.There was no Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
- Two out of every 10 U.S. adults couldn’t read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school..
- Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, “Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health.” ( Shocking? DUH! )
- Eighteen percent of households in the U.S. had at least one full-time servant or domestic help.
- There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE ! U.S.A. !
Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.

100 years ago, in 2010, the United States of America, as it was called back then, took a serious turn towards socialism, as “President” Barack Hussein Obama-Bin-Laden “changed” the country before he was finally forced to produce his birth certificate and found out that he was NOT a natural-born citizen. But it was too late … the damage was done.
“Those were good times back then”, 130 year old President Chelsea Clinton said. “We had something called ‘freedom’. Then the people were duped by Obama’s lies of ‘change and hope’. The country will never be the same again”.
