I think we are not focusing on the same thing. I have no idea whether people got along more in the 70s than the 80s. I did not notice any marked difference among the people I knew from one decade to the next. As for flexibility, well,again, I didn't notice any remarkable changes overall. The early 70s was just a part of the 60s, and was highly polarized. The later 70s saw a wave of nostalgia for the 50s, with shows like Happy Days and acts like Sha Na Na. Abortion was a national issue from the time Roe was handed down, and there was a lot of residual bitterness over the Nixon debacle. Unhappy veterans circulated among the populace, as those of us who opposed the war watched appalling images of the scramble to get out of Saigon as it fell, and deplored the Cambodian genocide (McGovern even called for military intervention!) So I am not sure that things were so amicable, overall.......
