I was in high school in the 70's. There are some great videos out there of footage from high schools etc. It's amazing to watch and see all the differences. And, yes, take my phone, tv and all the technology back and lets go back.
Me, too! I graduated HS in 1975. I remember two sides of the 60's - the orderly "normal" side, and the uncomfortable, disorderly, druggies/hippies. I grew up in California and managed to stay conservative through it all because society, as a whole, reinforced conservative values.
Hippies! LOL. We were in polar opposite environments. 1979 Grad. Midwest, tiny town of 50 homes surrounded by farmers and farmland. Nearest 50K town was 35 minutes, largest "city" was 2 hours. It was very conservative. I was not exposed to much until college. I quickly became a hippie leftover. Life went from there to Texas and back.
Now, here we are fighting in the same battle together. Crazy shit.
My dad was from Tipton, Iowa, my mom from North Carolina. I think that helped the conservative side!
I know about where Tipton is, east of Cedar Rapids. NOTHING out there but corn fields. Of course that's about 80% of Iowa. I know quite a number of farmers out there.
My brother from another mother 79 grad in SoDak Didn’t even have locks on the house. Keys in ignitions, guns in unlocked vehicles. Never a problem
LOL. Yep, welcome to my old world. We never had to worry about losing keys, they were always in the truck. Didn't lock the doors, otherwise neighbors couldn't get in if they needed something. Amazing how far things have fallen in my lifetime.
