(35,461 posts)I was born in the mid-60s so pretty much only know what I was told at home and have studied since. I know about Vietnam from my dad & uncles serving - but we didn't study it in school because it was too recent. Instead we read Hiroshima and Diary of Anne Frank. It is interesting to hear the historical perspective from folks who remember that time. I knew vaguely that Nixon had resigned but the first president I remember with any clarity is Jimmy Carter (and the gas lines).
Agree that we don't need that kind of hostility and I do think some of the people that drum that up are really not democrats but rather here stirring the pot instead. I trust the admins here and their judgment calls. I have a good memory but there are plenty of posts I don't see, while they can easily pull up a poster's entire history and look through it for guidance. I think sometimes people forget that.
