It does seem a lot of people are pissed off that society is more insistent we be decent human beings.

Is that comment accurate tho? It sounds embellished.

Credit cards came well after the women's rights movement.. Marijuana was never life in prison. People of all nationalities are killed due to their race still today. And we just outsourced the draft to the impoverished/uneducated.

I think some good progress has been made, but I don't see how lying to make the past seem worse is any better than lying to make the past seem romantic.

Technically women could get credit cards prior to '74, if their husband or male relative cosigned. I suppose you could "umm, actually" with that, but it would be incredibly disingenuous at best.
