The way things are going, every kid will soon be going to go to school wearing bubble wrap and a helmet.  Back in the 1970s (and earlier), parents just didn’t stress about children's health and safety like they - and big government - do today.  

Here are just a few examples of the dangerous decade that was the 70s!

Jarts)  Can you comprehend a more dangerous toy than a weighted spear that kids hurl through the air like a missile? That was Jarts! Kids threw them, then they stuck where they landed. Even if they happened to land in your foot.

Missing in action: Sunscreen) Back in the 70s, your goal was to get as brown as possible.  Sun block or sun screen was nonexistent. You tried to amplify your rays, so folks actually lathered on Crisco and baby oil to get that deep baked look.

Second hand smoke) From cars to airplanes to restaurants, it seemed the world of the 70s was shrouded in cigarette smoke.  It wasn’t only that so many more people smoked, it was the total lack of concern for those that didn’t,including children.  Your parents smoked, your teachers smoked, even your doctor smoked…. and they didn’t take it to a secluded area to do it. They did it right in your face.
