No wonder I don't miss the '70s. What else is there to not miss?

Bad acting, ugly cars, ugly clothes, ugly hairstyles, hippies run amok, communism chic, horrible gas prices (comparable with present ones, actually, taking inflation into account) inflation...

Disco?....LOL
 
It all really started going down hill in the mid to late 60s. By the 70s it all ran amok when the hideous colors and styles of clothing became palatable to the middle class masses. I blame those damned hippies on drugs, vegetarianism, Earth Shoes, gold medallions nestled in nasty hairy chests, inhalation of too much polyester fumes, streaking, and Nagahyde furniture (vast herds of Nagas were exterminated at the altar of the 70s culture's insatiable need for all things Nagahyde). Thank the gods it's over! Or is it?
