but if you're under 50, shut up about Vietnam.

Bull****.

Ah, succinct as always, Newps -- God love ya.

I gotta say, George, that your statement (and Jim's) is the biggest crock of
**** I've seen on Usenet -- and that's saying a lot! :-)

Heck, I was 15 when the draft for Viet Nam ended. Was that close enough?

My first memories are of watching Walter Cronkite recite the nightly body
count -- was THAT close enough?

Heck, I even remember watching footage of blacks (then called "Negroes")
torching Watts, and dozens of other American inner cities. But since I
wasn't old enough to participate in the riots, I suppose I shall refrain
from making any commentary on these actions.

And I guess that anyone who wasn't of age in the '60s, really shouldn't say
ANYTHING about that whole screwed up decade, right?

And while we're at it, let's forget about civil rights in the '50s

....and World War II in the '40s.
....and the Great Depression in the '30s.
....and boot-legging in the '20s.
....and World War I in the '10s...

Hell, let's just chuck the whole early 20th century, while we're on a roll.
After all, NONE of us were "there."

Honestly, George.
