Can someone tell me if I’ve taken a time machine back to 1978? Because I lived through 1978, and I’m seeing a lot of familiar things:
- A deeply unpopular President;
- Stagflation;
- Soaring interest rates;
- A sense of a declining and ever-weakening United States;
- Urban crime on the rise.
And just in case I didn’t get the memo, on this very morning I was walking my dogs and saw these signs. I daresay the majority of people who see the ERA YES sign will have no idea what it’s about. That’s no surprise, because the Equal Rights Amendment was a hot topic from 1972 through 1977, and it’s been effectively dead ever since. I also want to applaud the Irony Gods for placing the only truck in the city limits of Palo Alto next to these signs.
