Poll question: How old are you?
   
Just curious about DU demographics.

Poll result (136 votes)

0 - 10. My parents read me The Emancipation Proclamation when I was in utero.   (1 votes, 1%)

10-18. I'm dying to vote for my candidate. Or it could just be hormones.   (1 votes, 1%)

19-40. Gen Y? Millennial? No one defines me!   (34 votes, 25%)   

41-60. You kids know nothing about history. I remember in the '78 midterms when...   (86 votes, 63%)

61-80. Obama? Puhlease. Harry Truman's my man.   (14 votes, 10%)

80-100. You call this economic slowdown? At least you're not wearing a burlap sack.   (0 votes, 0%)

Well, I'm a little dubious, given that primitives lie.

But on the whole, generally, overall, this is probably a reasonably accurate picture of Skins's island.

1. You kids don't remember 1968?
   
I do, and that is why we all need to get behind our nominee and not battle amongst ourselves.

8. Gonna Be More Like...
   
..1972 this time around.

Excepting this time, rather than Massachusetts, it's going to be Vermont.

23. I remember it well. I was there and it was a very wild night.

We really do not want to go there again.

But alas you're going there again; history repeats.

2. Actually I was streaking in 78. I'll be 54 next week so after Mother's Day is over we can start wishing me a Happy Birthday.

6. 54 on the 14th. Our birthdays fall on Mother's Day every now and then; that's pretty cool. Did you ever streak back in the "good old days?" I was a student at the University of Arkansas and we went through the streaking faze.

21. No, I was too inhibited for that! You were obviously a freer soul than I was in those days.

7. Happy birthday, youngster!
   
I've got three years on you--was already in the work force and far away from campus when the streaking craze hit.

10. Thanks My Friend
   
Streaking up and down Dickson Street in Fayetteville. Ah, the College Life, the books, the intense studying, cramming for tests, drinking mass quantities of beer and getting naked and running to absolutely nowhere. God Bless America!

9. I'm 61 and I actually do remember Harry Truman, but only vaguely.

So, it seems the active posters are a bunch of old hippies, yet their photo threads tend to contradict this claim.. Their photos put most  between 18 to 40 (with a few exceptions, of course). Geriatric Underground ? Not likely. A bunch of Wannabes who wish they were at Woodstock dancing naked and stoned in the mud like genuine primitives ? Oh yes.

I found an older poll with 316 responses.  One thing I remember from my statistics class is that any sample of a population with more than 50 reponses can be considered accurate within +/-3%.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
