Carry pocket knives without people freaking out.


This went later than the 60s. I was always one step ahead of the pocket knife flip outs.

High schools banned them right around when I graduated (Thanks Bin Laden), then college a few years later, then some public places.

It seems to have calmed down a lot lately. More and more people seem to be going back to an EDC without any issue.

I played this not all that long ago. Probably a vintage set bought off Ebay.

Apparently kids can no longer play outside, like they did in the 60's.

Be served by a real, hot stewardess on a plane.

Drink a beer in the car on the way home from work.

Do jail or prison time for a crime.

Trust election results.

Go about your life without being under constant surveillance.

Buy affordable housing

Earn a decent wage without a college degree

Buy cool, albeit dangerous cars

You could smoke and eat whatever you wanted without the burden knowing that it will eventually kill you.

If you are black, you can get stuck in a shitty public school system. Oh wait that still happens after 60 years of progress.

Drive at crazy speeds in vehicles with no shoulder harness, head restraints, front-end crumple zones, radial tires, or pretty much any significant safety feature.

Was with dad when he got followed doing 40 MPH over the highway speed limit.

The cop wrote us a ticket and politely let us drive on.

We could come home from being out and the cop be there having coffee with my dad telling him he had seen us speeding or not a full stop at a stop sign etc. Was like a fricking Mayberry with Sheriff Andy.

If you believed you were of the opposite sex, you received the psychiatric help you needed.

Pay for college without loans, working part time.

Have the guy at the filling station pump your gas, check the tires and oil.

Cars that have bench seats w/o the console… and your date could sit right next to you. That also made it great for “ parking”.
