Message: [QUOTE="br801, post: 292824, member: 932"] That's a broad generalization, too. One of my most vivid and earliest memories as a child was JFK's assassination. I remember my parents being visibly upset, but was unable to understand the magnitude of the event at the time. I have much clearer memories of the turbulent and historic events that took place in the years that followed. Were aspects of the times I grew up in great? Absolutely. But looking back now, in no way would I characterize my youth (the 60s and 70s) as the "best of times" or somehow "better than everyone else's." So there goes your tidy little theory. [/QUOTE]
