This is also the time of the "made up" fuel crisis that was created so that "they that run things" could get the sheeple to want the small throw away cars. The road rage craze also started in the 70's.
Then on to the 80's where the delivery men of bread, soda and other such things became so busy with their routes that the term going postal became popular as the world tried getting used to the fashion of going faster and multi tasking. Where most married couples with children both had full time jobs with others taking care of their children while working, or children having to fend for themselves.
The late 80's is when "BIG brother" started to UP the ante by making many new laws, rules, statues and such that are on the books of law waiting for their proper time to use local and "international law enforcement" to enforce the law according to the statues that become popular to control the sheeple.
The banking system also went through great change as did the U.S. Post Office becoming the U.S. Postal Service, a private business.
That's just a tiny bit of the changes that have happened in the last 50 years.
As well as all the weather problems caused by man made ways that have changed the weather far beyond what was considered normal or occasional.
Almost forgot the Video Gaming craze that grows as the gadgets become available.
Babies and small children with cancers and other mutations.
And the one use plastic replacing recyclable glass, and.........................
All these problems seem to be ones that were started by the older generations, not the younger generations..... seems like the younger generations are the one left holding the bag and suffering the consequences of the older generation doing whatever they want for personal gain with no regard for safety, the environment, future generations, etc.
No wonder younger generations don't respect elders anymore. "Respect Is Earned, Not Given"
Full disclosure, I fall into the younger generation category, so just like sticking up for my side in this argument. I respect my parents and my elders and everything they personally have done and been able to do for me. But I don't respect all elders, just by default or as a whole, just because they are older than me, just like I don't expect respect from people younger than me.
EDIT: Forgot what thread I am in. This is not the place to be debating or arguing over which generation did or did not do anything right or wrong.... I'm going to keep my post here rather than delete it but we shouldn't continue down this path in this thread any further out of respect. My sincerest apologies
