^unfortunately yes. Being just shy of 40 years old, I have no concept of suffering (well unless you count the Carter years

) seriously though, I can only vaguely remember the early 70's and what was going on in America then. But I certainly listened to my grandparents when they told me about growing up in 30's, going off to war, talked about rationing, sending a son to Viet Nam who never came home, etc....I didn't miss a single word. Of course I loved and respected my elders. I also knew when they said: "never let this history repeat itself" that it meant not voting for people like Teh Baroque Star.
