lol. yeah propaganda is a new development. hope you aren't a history major, kiddo.
Not as new as you think. Back in the days of 3 over the air networks, 2 big newspapers, and 2 major news wire organizations, there was plenty of agenda driven democratic propaganda. We just didn't have other ways of getting the information to know we were being misled. Having cable news channels with a different ideological slant and internet blogs pulled the veil back on it, but it was far from new when they showed us that it was happening.Howdy Dammit said:

I remember going out to the mall parking lot on Sundays and riding a skateboard with a windsurfer mast attached to the deck. Very few places to do something like that these days...rwtxag83 said:

Milk being delivered to your house
Having your gas pumped for you, oil checked, and windshield cleaned when you just needed gas.
White tube socks to just under your knee.
Pay phones were a dime.
45's on your record player.
The long coiled phone cord you would stretch into the next room to try and talk to your girlfriend.
Nobody wore seat belts. Even kids.
You might get beat up but not shot or killed.
Rifles in the racks of trucks in the school parking lot.

You'd think the access we have to information would make agendas much more difficult. Man is that not the case.

Scrambled pornography was enough to do get the deed done.
You're right, I haven't thought about that in forever! The neighbor my parents gave/got the most from was also the one who watched all the little kids while their parents were at work so she knew pretty much everybody.rwtxag83 said:
People used to eat at home. Fast food pretty much didn't exist. There were drive ins and burger joints, but you had to wait for your food to be cooked.
Grocery stores closed at 6pm. It you missed the closing time, you would go next door to your neighbors and 'borrow a cup of sugar', or whatever. People were more connected out of necessity.
