If You Grew Up In The 1970s.....

 You probably have a unique prospective on life, and certain things stand out:

1.  You probably won't sit long for lectures or political-indoctrination chatter.

2.  You probably have a 'limit' on stupidity, and even PhD-types in irrational chatter....will get muted.

3.  If there's more than 36 buttons on the TV remote control.....you probably only identify seven of them, and the rest are never used.

4.  You probably don't give a damn about calorie charts at restaurants.

5.  You probably still believe that Coke or Pepsi.....served in a glass bottle....will taste better than from a can.

6.  You probably prefer a seven-day adventure car-ride across America than spending seven days in Miami.  

7.  You probably have a certain negative reaction whenever someone speaks up about pagans, demons, or exorcisms. 

8.  You probably still remember some relative or neighbor, in that era, who went off for several weeks at some state mental facility, and 'recovered'.

9.  You can't envision going to a NFL or NBA game....spending $300 for the ticket and food/beverages.

10.  You probably have a 'minimum-required' story for a movie to make sense.  You can also probably name ten movies from the past decade that were worthless.

Ten:
Going back aways...
oprah winfrey -- color purple (we won free passes)
Sylvester Stallone -- Judge Dredd.
Nor did I much care for Driving Miss Daisy and that Pretty Woman mess.
.
But we hated color purple with its waste of talent and wasting my time.
At one scene with somebody chasing a caboose, my Very Significant Other loudly asked the packed theater "Who is that supposed to be!"
.
While in a theater waiting for a different movie to start, we wandered into eddie murphy -- Red with him on stage doing 'comedy' about bowel movements..
Besides the two of us, that screen had maybe six viewers.
Not one of us was positively impressed.
