Very simply, I didn't have to be "politically correct". I could give umteen examples of this, but I'm sure you really don't need me to. Amos and Andy could actually be shown on TV.

People actually could go an purchase firearms, as someone on this thread mentioned earlier. I do remember pistols for sale in the local KMart.

Business could hire who they wanted without the civil liberties union being involved in that decision. You could actually quaranteen someone with a contagious disease and keep them separate from the rest of the population.

If you were fired from a job, you couldn't collect unemployment! Is that a freedom? Yes, actually it is because employers paid lower unemployment taxes.

Ahhh... and car insurance was OPTIONAL!! Not to mention, CHEAP! You didn't need medical insurance to go to the doctors or to the dentist, you could actually afford it.

You didn't need to be drug tested to participate in extra curricular activities in school.

You could smoke where you wanted.

Fair enough, good examples, although you left me even more confused than ever. On the one hand you're supporting the right to be downright offensive and parody black people for amusement, but you're somehow taking the moral high ground with sexuality? Yah...ok.

so you can drive without responsibility? One only hopes that if you rammed into someone the favor was returned.
