People didn't take photos of everything back then, because it cost money...There just isn't a good record of those days. I tried to find some for an '80s nostalgia thread here a few years ago...nothing.

The really good ones were made of orange bubble gum, and then rolled in powdered sugar, then wrapped in a rolling paper. You could "puff" out a cloud of "smoke" when you blew on them. I very clearly remember these, but I've never met anyone else who does. We used to "smoke" them at the bus stop when we were little kids--our bus driver would jokingly tell us to "field strip your butts!" before getting on the bus (whatever that means). Early '70s.

Freedom. There used to be a certain kind of freedom in this country that we sadly took for granted. You could go to the bank, get some cash, hop in the car, and drive as far as you wanted and nobody could find you until you wanted found. Sure you might make a phone call every few days or throw a postcard in the mail, but that was voluntary.
We've been surrounded by a regulatory environment that intrudes into every aspect of our daily lives now. The government has grown tremendously since the 70's and most of it is just administrators administrating administrative code that has the effect of law. |

Here's one nobody has mentioned:
The Disney movie "Song of the South". Go ahead, try: You cannot buy, rent, stream, or see it anywhere that I know of. I saw it once as a kid and I fully expect that (if it hasn't happened already) every copy and all the masters will eventually be destroyed. |

Quote HistoryThat's it! Fantastic! Watch it before it disappears because it probably will.
I see that was uploaded in 2016. IIRC the last time I tried to find it was two to three years prior to that. Glad to see you can actually watch it somewhere. I remember an outcry several years ago that the PC crowd had made it virtually disappear. |

It is easily available. The only "ban" is that Disney won't release it in theaters ever again, have it on their upcoming streaming service, or let it be shown on TV. But you can get it pretty easily. |
