I was born in 1975, so this resonates with me. And not for the better.
Just 8 years earlier, blacks were burning down their cities.
Today, there’s nothing left of Detroit to burn, so they quit that practice.
I was born in 1975, and I don’t think they HAD to get me a Socialist Insecurity Number.
I’ve got about 12 million arguments against #6.
why do you need an id to sell gold coins?
do i need an id to sell other personal property? if so, since when? and why the hell is it any of their business??
Yeah, not being able to open a swis bank account without jumping through hoops is a real pain.
Good list...but they were stretching on this one.
I would add that you could drink at 18, and generally make love without the possibility of a death sentence.
Oversimplified. The 1968 Gun Control Act requires paperwork to buy a firearms from someone with an FFL, but not for a private transaction. Local gun laws aside, of course...this is hardly the case in NYC or Washington DC (or even Colorado as of this month).

Anyone remember the Southwest Airline commercial “You are now free to move about the country”?? Well, not so much now...Hmm have not seen that commercial in a long time :(
I was 6 In 1975 and if it was summer I left the house after breakfast, found whatever friends were out, stopped playing for lunch and was back out again. After dinner was with the family and/ or kids came over to my house. We road our bikes to buy cheap candy and stayed out in the dark catching fireflies and playing hide and go seek.
I wish my kids could have one day where I felt I could say just go with your friends wherever and have fun. But I have to put a limit on them for safety reasons, and I only grew up about a half mile from where I presently sit.
Wrong, the feds have always tapped the phones, even going back to electro-mechanical switches in the 30's.
Bell Labs in NJ, a branch of AT&T, gave the feds the keys to the switches and there has been a funnel of technology and information from the phone companies to the feds for 80 years.
Kids could ride a bike without a helmet, play on jungle gyms, sliding boards and see saws on public school play grounds, swim in creeks and play outside all day.
When I was about 7 or 8, my parents got a new station wagon. It was white, with a red vinyl interior , and had seat belts! I remember distinctly Dad telling us to always use them, and how they would help keep us safe in case of an accident.
When I wondered if there should be a law mandating seat belt use, my Dad was quick to give me the lecture about freedom, and how the government could give you information, but they could never force you to do the right thing- this was America and you were free to make the choice or not.
I remember - and st is something the nanny state has taken from parents- feeling so happy that my parents were concerned enough about our safety to buy a car with seat belts for us.
The creep of soft tyranny.
You could buy ammo at 7-11 and Target.
