No, I liked MOST of the rules that were in place in 1975, not the ones after…like the 21 for alcohol, the helmet laws, the seatbelt laws……the “tough on crimes” laws where the theft of a pizza slice gets you 25-life…..

I started in journalism in 1975 and there were a lot of young ladies in the field, or entering it.

in 1975….even Republicans supported the laws of the land vis the voting rights act…

in 1975…Ron Paul had not yet gone off the deep end…

in 1975…we had still not had the 785 mass shootings that we would have in the next decade alone…

in 1975 if a frog had wings he would still bump his ass…

Ted: That’s just the problem: The regulations won’t let me “grow up.” Just like a child, I can’t smoke in a bar or buy an Electra 225. The government won’t let me.

And, actually, the ice cream man does come down my street. He would come more often if the government’s anti-natalist policies hadn’t plunged the birth rate below replacement levels.

In 1975, we could buy Sudafed without begging a Pharmacist for it, or signing a government form and showing ID.

In 1975 schools taught the three R’s, history, geography, languages (including Latin), music, art… and that’s it.

In 1975 “Gay” meant happy, and rainbows were worn by little girls.

There is so much more…

Katy
