6. Lived through it, watched the hearings, always shunned the YR's and YAF's.

Probably saw the movie but was involved in anti-war actions at that time and going places. Not much in cinema impressed me until I settled down for a while.

Haven't watched television or gone to movie theaters much. Just about everything I've ever seen on TV was a re-run, didn't record or TIVO.

Hearings, yes, I watched them, alright. I watched the hearings when Nixon nearly got tossed, the Watergate tapes, etc. There was no CSPAN but networks had to show major things like that to keep their license.

Too bad it's not that way now. The American people are very uninformed but know they've missed out and are falling for CT which says that democracy is a failure, so let's go tribal or else into theocratic fiefdoms.
