In the old days, we didn't have iPhones or high-speed internet connections and gender was one of two different things and not a "spectrum," and we didn't have cures for a lot of the diseases that were around and a diagnosis of cancer pretty much meant you were dead, and if you missed a show on one of the three television channels you had to wait until the summer reruns to catch it, and it was okay to beat your kids (even in public), and drunk driving was funny and not dangerous, and the n-word was always good for a laugh as long as one of "them" wasn't around, and if you didn't like second-hand cigarette smoke, you'd light one up for yourself and get some first-hand smoke.
