that old saw about not having been there if you remember the '60s is still sorta funny, but has NEVER applied to me. this very well might be what Tom refers to as our "Aspie memory," but I've forgotten very little...to the extent of being able to recall a lot of conversations word-for-word. in fact, I freaked out an old friend a few months back by recalling every exchange we had during an unpleasant conversation in 2003 during which he tried to justify the invasion of Iraq.
needless to say, he wasn't very happy about this but he's gotten over it. he'd felt like he had a sort of "special relationship" with 9/11 because on that day, he went to pick up one of his kids in school and the office told the teacher in the classroom that Jake (the kid) should just "report to the office." so, for about two minutes, Jake was sure his dad had gotten killed. I get it, but let's face it: it's a pretty slender reed to lean on when you're talking about starting a WAR.
so, in any event, yeah, I was very much in the '60s and remember most of them very, very well.
