I know! Even if the economy was crap, families and society in the whole world seemed a little sane. Even Soviet Russia was a known enemy.

One thing the Soviets had, and one good thing I can say about them, is like us, they had a desire to live and survive. Yeah, if you let them, they'd take advantage of us but still, they had rational people in the Kremlin that did not want to blow up the world. You do not have that with jihadists. Also, back then, it seems like you could get any type of job if need be, it's a bit harder now with the O-Hole deathcare plan. 1979, I was 13, born in 1966.
