What was it like to live in the 1980s?
More prosperous than now certainly. A little more innocent, not a problem with gangs - never heard of shootings or any of the ugliness that seems to be a daily occurance you hear of today. Clothing was more stylish, still into minis; hair was bigger, make-up was more - we seem to be more natural now. Everyone seemed to care what they looked like on a regular basis. You never saw some of the sloppy dress you do today - like people out in the PJ's or pants falling off their butts. People took pride in how they looked when they left the house. Jobs where more plentiful, pay was more equal to living and it didn't seem to be so out of wack with haves and have-nots. People took care not to get pregnant - it wasn't a badge of honor like it is today to bring a child into the world that you can't afford to feed, cloth or educate. And expect the system to do it for you. People still expected to take care of themselves. Novel idea, wasn't it? All in all, it was a simpler time. People got along with each other and took responsibility for themselves.
