The 1970s were a special time in America. We celebrated our 200th year of independence, we had disco, and we protested the Vietnam War. But with 200 years of independence, one would think that a person living in America was free to live their life the way they see fit.
Not so.
There were things we did in the ’70s we could never do today. Now, I’m not talking about murder or tax evasion or even a Brady Bunch reboot… nothing that drastic. I’m talking about things done privately… inside the family.
There are five things that you could do in the ’70s that you could never, ever get away with today because they are so despicable, at least to “p.c.” police, they would have you arrested and Child Protective Services would take your children away… probably.
