BIMD the younger generation respected their elders and people in authority
BIMD we had to do our homework as soon as we got home, then we were allowed to go outside and play... and our parents never worried about where we were or how to get a hold of us - we just knew when to be home (except for one family on our block... the mom would stand at the end their driveway and blow a whistle when she wanted here kids to come home)
BIMD gas was $0.25/litre when i first started driving... crap that was expensive!
BIMD you could go to a corner store and get a 25 pack of hockey cards WITH the terrible dried out stick of gum for a quarter
BIMD we knew what it meant to "do without" - the early 80's were really lean years (my dad owned a store in southern ontario and times were really tough). people didn't just keep spending on credit - you just did without
BIMD star wars had the most amazing special effects EVER!!! i think i dragged my parents to the theater 10 times as a kid back in 1977!! good times!
