8 Reasons Children Of The '70s Should All Be Dead
In San Diego, my grandparent's place (dad's side). I gots me a football. I have good memories of that place. The plants there grew so tall at the edge of the yard that it was like a natural fence. This is around 1970 or 1971.

The way things are going, every kid is going to go to school wearing bubble wrap and a helmet. Back in the 1970s (and earlier), parents didn’t stress about our health and safety as much as they do today. It’s not that they cared less – they just didn’t worry compulsively about it.

Parents of 2014 need to be reminded of how less restricted, less supervised, less obsessively safety-conscious things were… and it was just fine.
