OOOOhhhhh I can SO relate to this!!! I seriously honestly think I should have been born in the seventies. The clothes, the music, the cars, the "peace, love, happiness" way of thinking...I don't think I would've liked the threat of nuclear war, but hey, it's like deciding between something that MIGHT be the end of the world but logically would never happen cause we'd destroy the planet, and what's going on now--sending soldiers to blow up invisible enemies in the desert, and killing tons of innocent civilians instead. I hate all the HATE in this country, this world, this era!!!! And the racism, sexism, and homophobia...I'd hate it, but I like to think I'd have been a damn good advocate against it!!!

EDIT: Oh, and the reason this era has no character is because everything that's popular is being stolen from other eras.
