I thought I made that point.

The only way the 70's could seem like "simple times" is if you weren't paying attention to politics, social unrest, or the economy.

I remember the even/odd plate gas lines. But we knew we had a unified country and that a man couldn't have a baby or breast feed.

Domestic terrorism in this country peaked in the 1970s. Go read about the bombings in the 70s.



Child's play compared to 9/11.

I agree. We still had Vietnam, Watergate, etc. I still remember watching the news about Vietnam, evacuation of Saigon, etc. But it still was very different than today. People were nicer and not at a heightened state of anger like today. Go back another generation. Pearl Harbor, Normandy, Korea then Vietnam. And that generation will tell you times were simpler even though they might have been hard.
