The 70s was a different era. US prosperity was #1. There was no such thing as a major Japanese car market then. Computers were something that IBM- an American company, did. We just achieved the goal of going to the moon. There was some goods manufactured in China and cameras in Japan... but neither was any kind of a threat of US jobs. Illegal Immigration happened, but it wasn't a world-sucking problem like it is now. Civil rights bill was signed into law, but was not enforcing any major changes. Equal Opportunity was not an idea then. The law: Fair Housing Act - which is ONLY used when non-whites want to move into white neighborhoods (this is 'fair'?) was possibly there, but no-one cared because it was rarely invoked. The music of the era reflected all of the above. Unfortunately, we cannot go back to the 70s... More complex solutions need to be created now. - segregated, but happily preferring their own.
